Stephen Lawhead — Taliesin (Pendragon Cycle Book I)

Lion 1990 Paperback, 512pp. 'I will weep no more for the lost, asleep in their water graves. The voices of the departed speak: Tell our story, they say. It is worthy to be told. And so I take my pen and write.' So begins the tragedy of lost Atlantis, extinguished for ever in a hideous paroxysm of earth and sea. Out of the holocaust, three crippled ships emerge to bear King Avallach and his daughter to the cloud-bound isle of Ynus Prydein. Here is another world, where Celtic chieftains struggle for survival in he twilight of Rome's power. One heroic figure towers over all, the Prince Taliesin, in whom is the sum of human greatness - grandeur and grace, meekness and majesty, beauty and truth. This is a tale that spans two worlds, a vision that sings in the heart, and a love that spawns the miracle of Merlin . Arthur . and a destiny that is more than a kingdom. Cover faded, pages tanned.
