A Dragon Rises Michael Calabrese

It is the time of Erwyllian, theancient Lord Druid of Brython - a time of magic and Gods who rise from myth towalk in the world of men. It is the time of Teg, a young warrior chosen by theGods to unite his people against the Saxon invaders - and given an impossibletask: to be the new Riothamus . . . to fill the shoes of Arthur. A Dragon Rises is an alteredhistory. It's sixth century Britain, some 30 years after the death of Arthur(he probably died in 511AD), and the Pagan Celts win - against the Saxoninvader and druid ways triumph over the domination of Rome. The Old Godspromise a rebirth of the land and the people and appear in public for thousandsto see. It is a story of conflict, magic, faith and the historic political andreligious issues of the day. Years of travel - to know theland and the feel of the West Country and research - went into the weaving ofhistory and myth to make the cloth of this story - a blending fact and mysteryinto a tale of the successor to Arthur.
