A Mythic Fantasy

Springer writes this book in such a why that you feel as if is a classic myth....The themes of love, hate, friendship, and overcoming The Evil are all there, just like any of the great myths of the Romans, Greeks, Norse, or Celts. Truly a classic fantasy. Also check out the related books (alas they maybe out of print, The Silver Sun and The Sable Moon) which form a loose series. I actually read The Sable Moon first, but if you wish to go in the "historical" order in which they occur, start with the White Hart. It will not disappoint. (For those interested in Celtic Mythology, there are MANY familiar things about these stories).

Love, honor, magic and evil........

A tale of love, honor and evil. Two lads meet in a land riddled with magic and the evil of a dishonest "king". The story has tinges of the magic of King Arthur - a lad looks within himself, with the help of his friend and a maiden, and finds power to fight evil. The characters are complete, and brings you into the story. You care what happens to each one. One of Springers' earlier works, it's not as polished as later works. The ending may not turn out as you thought, but it makes sense. This book ties in with later books (Silver Sun and Sable Moon), but you don't have to read it to understand the later stories. Regal and heartrending, absolutely worth a weekend to read.
