Synopsis

King John's realm has existed peacefully for generations, but now the kingdom is disintegrating. The malign rotten blackness of the Darkwood is encroaching; demons are massing, hunting in packs. King John is out of money, out of men, out of hope. Prince Rupert, the younger son - not so much expendable as surplus to requirements - had been sent out on a Quest. When he returns, much to everyone's surprise, he has not just the princess but the dragon too . . . A second son, a tired dragon, a unicorn without a horn and a princess with a wicked left hook: an unlikely company to face a Demon Prince - but face him they must, when the Blue Moon rises . . .

From AudioFile

Prince Rupert, second son of the king, is sent on a fool's errand by his father in hopes he won't return. But Rupert, with his sassy unicorn steed, is more resourceful than expected and survives his journey through the infamous Darkwood. BLUE MOON RISING turns this genre on its head--we learn of the softer side of the Night Witch and meet a dragon more interested in butterflies than blood. Yet this story is not quite for children either. Battle scenes erupt in bloody fury with GraphicAudio's signature cinematic sound effects and music. A well-rounded cast complements Terence Aselford's engaging narration. After five action-packed hours, listeners will be eager for the other two parts of this series.
