THE CHALICE TRILOGY:
In a land of dark seas, pagan rituals, and the lost memories of a far distant past comes a story of epic fantasy and stunning sensuality.
DREAM STONE – Book Two:
The battle for Carn Merioneth has returned Mychael ab Arawn to the castle of his birth, but treachery and danger abound across the land, forcing Mychael to forsake his monk’s vows in an ever more desperate search for the great and fiery beasts of his most haunting vision
Ddrei Goch and Ddrei Glas, the Red Dragon and the Green Dragon, guardians of the Gates of Time. Beset on all sides by those who would usurp his rule and use Mychael’s prophesied power for their own purpose, only one of the Quicken-tree dares to follow the mysterious young warrior on his chosen path into deepest danger, Llynya, an elfin sprite with a brave heart and a lightning-fast blade.
When long-vanquished enemies return and monstrous forces are gathered on their borders, an ancient priestess will set Mychael and Llynya to the deadly task of their fate. They must call forth the dragons and face an unimaginable evil that threatens to sweep them all into a timeless vortex without end. But even as he brings the great and mighty dragons to heel, Mychael knows the cost of battle will be dear, and the price he must pay for victory will change him forever.

To Stan, always—
sharing breath and a turn of the wheel
The author’s deepest thanks to Elizabeth
Barrett, a most skillful and imaginative editor; and to Cindy
Gerard, touchstone of the muse.
Note
A number of Welsh names and words appear in
the book, along with a few words of Irish, the common language
being Celtic. Welsh is written more phonetically than English, with
each consonant having only one sound. For example,
c
always
has the “k” sound, as in cake;
s
is always as in
sit
,
never as in
nose
;
f
always has a “v” sound. In
addition to the single consonants, digraphs are used to represent
certain Welsh sounds:
dd
is pronounced like the English
“th,” as in
breathe
; while
th
has the less soft sound
of the English breath;
ff
has the “f” sound in the English
film
;
si
is pronounced like the English “sh” as in
shop
; and
ch
is always pronounced as in the German
Bach
, never as in
church
. The letter
r
is
trilled in Welsh. Accents regularly follow on the next to the last
syllable.
Since I used many foreign words in this book,
as well as unfamiliar names for characters and places, I have
included a glossary at the end of the book.
