Synopsis

The tale centers on a young Human male and a young Elvin female. These two characters are the sole survivors of a terrible battle and head off to warn their people. The journey takes them through political intrigue, betrayal and prejudices. The two characters come to terms with their own fears and doubts, as they journey towards a pre-ordained destiny. Along the way their past is revealed, as is their direction and final confrontation with evil. Mixed in are subplots, new friendships, allies, murder and kidnapping. Through all of this new love and new life are born, only to be viciously ripped apart by assassination. Death is not the final chapter, as the final battle takes place on another plane of existence. It is a tale of courage, growth, weakness and fear, all the human qualities of self, set amid a land of magic in a time of legend.

About this title

About the Author:

Bud is both a new and a seasoned writer. His earlier works were published in magazines and newspapers on the west coast of Canada. These writings reflect his passions for life and people. Having travelled and worked in three countries, Bud draws on both real experience and what he calls: his inner child's voice. With the publication of larger works, Bud has released both this passion and his story telling ability. Bud uses, like all authors, his own unique style when he writes. As he weaves a tale, or writes thought provoking articles, he interjects his personal concepts about the human quality, with all our strengths and weaknesses. As you travel through his writings you will feel the two sides of the author: the sometimes naive innocent child, and the injured, battered adult. It is from his gypsy life style, mixed with his rebel looking for a cause personality, that he fabricates rich and real writing. As a member of Writer's groups Bud has had his works reviewed, discussed and received praise for his ability to carry the reader through the story, with the care of an experienced guide into his world. His easy reading style keeps the reader engrossed and moves them into the story. The comment of, want to turn the page, is true of his style of writing. When you read his writing, you will feel your emotions being drawn towards the story. Like a minstrel of yore, without the music, he will keep you near the warm fire, as he spins his oratory of print.
