Frustrated by his father’s expectation to follow in his footsteps, Prince Corin prefers sewing to sword fighting. His cousin Elinor has the eagerness for skills at arms which he lacks and, by a stroke of luck, uncovers a plot to overthrow the crown. Both cousins are befriended by a marketplace magician, whom the queen suspects is a master of the black arts and the cause of their Luck Dragon’s baffling illness. When their lives and the destiny of the kingdom are at stake, Corin must choose either to trust this mysterious old man or heed the warnings of his parents.
Reviews
In The Dragon, the Blade and the Thread, Donald Samson completes an epic tale that just might become a classic. Combining adventure, suspense and coming-of-age themes with skilled word-crafting and deep life lessons. While young readers will naturally jump into the story and identify with the characters, for me, as a senior citizen, I can easily imagine myself being thoroughly absorbed in the content and presentation of these books at any period of my life. Future readers - you're in for a special treat. Michael Davis Psychologist, Counseling Children and Young Adults
