Legend of the Blood Raven - Paperback

by D. C. McLaughlin (Author)

The littlest of actions can have the greatest of consequences. "A twig seems harmless," Daga whispered cryptically to her. "But if picked up by a storm's gust, it can pierce through the largest oak with the force of an iron spike." Bran is a young lass who lived in the dwarf kingdom of Tor Ambroc. She was a normal dwarf just like any other -- except she liked to ride horses. Vilmar is a simple farrier's son. He is a better horse trainer than scholar. But all the dwarves say he "stinks of magic." Delkan is a dwarf maiden with a cunning wit and a bad habit of saying just the right thing to get everyone in trouble. Daga is the mysterious uncle to every dwarf born. He carves magic toy horses and he likes to dabble in the ebb and flow of Fate. Unlikely friends, together they strive against evil who has marked all dwarves for death. Thus is born the Legend of the Blood Raven.
