Dragon's Tongue: Book 1 Of The Demon Bound (Bk. 1) ReviewIf you've not read any of Laura's work before, this is an excellent place to start. DRAGON'S TONGUE exists as part of a much larger world-in-development, and other novels and stories have been published in this world already (at later points in its history), but this book is where it all starts. DRAGON'S TONGUE and its sequel, WANDERING LARK (which should be out in '07), provide the origin of an epic saga that will continue for many years.
DT focuses on the lives of and the relationship between a teacher and his pupil. Fenelon Greenfyn, a rather notorious rogue who sits on the Coucil of Mageborn, is given the task of tutoring a young bard called Alaric Braidwine, who isn't overly happy to have discovered his mageborn talents. Alaric was trained as a bard by the legendary Ronan Tey, a friend of his family. As Alaric arrives at Dun Gealach to begin his studies of magecraft, evidence crops up that he has smuggled a demon into the heavily-guarded premises. The demon in question is Vagner, in the 'employ' of Tane Doran, a blood mage seeking an extraordinary power. The key to this power is a song...a song taught to Alaric by Ronan Tey, and Vagner (himself quite the music lover) captures Alaric and brings him back to Doran. The trouble is Alaric has no recollection of learning this song or of ever having heard it.
To put it simply: DRAGON'S TONGUE is a FUN read. This book is very engaging, with lively characters, a rich setting, a great deal of danger, good doses of humour throughout, unlikely friendships and alliances, and the coming of age of a boy who unwittingly becomes a pawn of fate. It is written in a style that can appeal to both teenagers and adults, so it should find a broad audience. A musician herself, Laura writes her bard characters with honesty and realism (and has in fact composed all the music that appears in the books).
Buy this book; I highly recommend it. And if you enjoy it (which I'm certain you will), explore some of Laura's other works, particularly the other books and stories set in the same world. [...]Dragon's Tongue: Book 1 Of The Demon Bound (Bk. 1) OverviewAlaric Braidwine, young mageborn bard in training, has no idea that he's about to become part of a legend. Traveling to Dun Gealach to learn magecraft under the Council of Mageborn, he finds himself drawn into a fiendish plot by a blood mage who wants to be a god.
