About This Book
This book is about love, light, life, forbidden knowledge and everything churchianity and organized religion forgot about long ago.
It is the story of Michael, the boy prince, who constantly snuck off into the woods or went fishing instead of going to church and showed little interest in either his religion or becoming king. It is the story of his mother, Catherine, first the slave of the Moorish Prince Mohammed and later the unwilling Viking queen of Hendaye. It is the story of her illegitimate son Rupert, of her daughter Margret, the most intelligent of the Vikings, and of William, who became the love of her life.
This is the story of what actually happened at the end of the ninth century when the forces of Islam, Christianity and the Vikings clashed at the insignificant village of Hendaye, France without realizing that an extremely intelligent and powerful dragon also had interests there.
Finally, these are the chronicles of Tulku, the dragon, who was himself to become the stuff of legends, and his epic journey through the world of humans, where he was swept up in a mystifying chain of events beyond the control of any of them. This is the story of that time, of a corrupt church, a lawless nobility, forbidden knowledge which troubles the world to this very day, and above all else, it is the story of living an inspired and courageous life in a very complicated, challenging world most of us do not understand very well.
