In 1198 Wales, the rightful keepers of Carn Merioneth have successfully regained possession of the land. However, to the victors may go the spoils, but for Michael ab Arawn, the triumph is tainted by the fact that the two dragons, who repel the forces of darkness appear to be missing.
Regardless of the peril to himself, Michael knows that he must find the missing guardians or else. He begins his quest into the dangerous caverns where the spawn of dragons, the pryf, dwell. All his so-called allies except one have personal agendas, making each of them more dangerous to Michael and his quest than his known enemies, including an evil so malevolent that his eternal soul is at stake. Only Llynya of the Quicken-tree seems to really want to help him succeed, but he wonders what her agenda actually is.
DREAM STONE is an incredible experience that takes the reader into a Medieval world of fantasy where the unbelievable feels real. The characters, including the ultimate evil, the pryf, the dragons, and the mortals come across as genuine with realistic motives. The story line is romantic fantasy at its best. Glenna McReynolds has written an epic adventure that will elate fans of fantasy and Medieval romance as a stunning novel worth reading
