The Red Dragon and the Crown of Saxnot Bryce Gibby

Book four in the series A Tetralogy of tales and subsequently, The Annals of the Heroic, expanded to six books. Although dense fog obscures the early history of Britannia and Irish Scotia, it is known the old Celts were fierce pagans, devoted to a pantheon of gods, including the Phoenician goddess Ashtoreth, known also as Astarte or Easter. Yet, in the days of King Arthur, so long as faith and freedom flourished the barbaric hordes and heathen rituals were held at bay. With his death, the invaders enshrouded Britannia once again in darkness. The early kingdoms of the aristocracy were ruled by shadow sovereigns, secret masters of monarchs-the avowed enemies of King Arthur's heirs. Bound by the settings of history and legend in pre-medieval England, Ireland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland, these are the stories of two dynasties whose heraldry is still symbolized by two dragons, one red and the other white, and two lineages, the House of Arthur and the much older House of Saxnôt."The Red Dragon and the Crown of Saxnôt effortlessly shifts gears between adventure, violence, romance, and well-crafted political intrigue, all in a seamless, ancient-folklore package. The action starts right away, and continues without losing any steam right up until the climactic battle. In this final conflict upon the misty moors of England, the true meaning of the Vision of Dragons will at last be revealed to readers, and the ultimate fate of Arthur's legacy will be decided once and for all."
