- Shadow
- Clan

- and
- set
- out
- to
- him
- in
- the
- Strip,
- and
- they

- a
- man

- horn
- lost
- in

- Battle
- of

- decides
- to
- enter
- Eldor’s
- Forest,

- Eldor
- and
- Masara
- and
- await
- Le’Mar.
- It
- is
- a
- war
- the
- earth

- been
- anticipating….and
- it
- is
- a
- war
- with
- the
- direst
- consequences.The
- “Prophecy
- of
- the
- DragonRider”
- is
- upon

- PRAISE

- imagination
- has
- depth
- of
- both
- scale
- and
- scope,
- with
- parallels
- between
- this
- imaginary
- world
- and
- the
- real
- world,
- characterised
- by
- an
- interesting
- contrast
- between
- the
- industrialised
- evil
- forces
- and
- the
- ‘natural’
- forces
- of
- good…”-
