Opis

Picture this. A young man at a modern day Renaissance fair is dressed in gleaming armor. He and his two friends love everything about the medieval world, and so they go to fairs like these where Charlie can show off his armor making skills and their mutual sword fighting skills. Across the way from Charlie's vendor spot sits a woman in full niqab; she is veiled in black from head to toe. The sign at her own vender spot says she is a druid who will do a rune casting for free. For whatever reason, Charlie is attracted to this covered woman, and so he approaches her. And this is where our story begins. What is this woman dressed in what is clearly middle eastern garb and posing as a druid doing at a Renaissance fair? And even after Charlie gets to know her, why won't she show herself to him? What is she afraid of? Why is she attracted to Charlie as much as he is to her? And where in the heck did she acquire those impressive Karate skills he will soon discover she has? It's clear that Rosie is her own woman. The more Charlie learns about her, the more he loves her. We think of fire-spitting dragons as a myth of medieval times. But this story will show us that dragons are very much alive in the 21st century. It's just that the dragon looks quite different now than then. The dragon's ever-present evil influence drives the plot of this fast paced story, and Charlie and Rosie will eventually have to face this dragon, a considerable undertaking for our lovers. In this present day romance the dragon is figurative, of course, but it has evolved into what has moved beyond myth and into the real world where we all live. The prequel of this story is -Lady Dragon, - a fantasy romance where our heroes deal with a -real- dragon, and where once again, love conquers all. The dragon lives....
