Classic Fantasy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I read this book years ago, and it helped shape my expectations for what I expect from a good fantasy novel: a majestic scope and a new twist on legends. The hero's visit to Faerie has particularly remained with me after all these years. I am happy to see the novel back in print!
Outstanding Fantasy Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book takes up the tale where Merlin's Godson leaves off and Munn weaves an extraordinary story that moves from the Fall of Atlantis to the emergence of the Renaissance. Like Merlin's Godson it is full of unique visions and ideas that really captured my imagination. And in my mind that is what a great fantasy novel does, it opens your mind to something completely new and undreamt. Find yourself a copy and dive into this compelling read.
Wonderful Reading

I once found a tattered old copy of this book in a Landfill where I used to work, and upon reading it, I was enthralled. This is truly a wonderful story and everyone should read it at least once. I still have that tattered old book!
