Taliesin (Pendragon Cycle (Audio))
[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.]
It was a time of legend, when the last shadows of the mighty Roman conqueror faded from the captured Isle of Britain. While across a vast sea, bloody war shattered a peace that had flourished for two thousand years in the doomed kingdom of Atlantis.
Taliesin is the remarkable adventure of Charis, the Atlantean princess who escaped the terrible devastation of her homeland, and of the fabled seer and druid prince Taliesin, singer at the dawn of the age. It is the story of an incomparable love that joined two worlds amid the fires of chaos, and spawned the miracles of Merlin . . . and Arthur the king.
Taliesin, oracle of melody. His singing bore the haunting beauty of another world and the spark of a kingdom yet to come.
Charis, Lady of the Lake. Driven by the cataclysm that destroyed her home--the scented groves of the Isle of Apples, the coliseums of the bull dancers of Atlantis--she encountered an uncertain future in a barbarous land . . . and the bard who would capture her untamed heart.
Their love would bridge two worlds. And like golden threads, their lives would knit the fabric of a timeless legend; that of Merlin the prophet and Arthur the king.
Stephen Lawhead's majestic retelling of western literature's most compelling epic is an enchanting tale of love and loss set in the twilight of Rome's power, as the Celtic chieftains of Britain battle to save their land from an onrushing darkness.
