Richard Knaack is a worthy student of “Professor Tolkien.” A man who managed to take the principles of Tolkien’s school of fantasy almost literally - and create his own, personal world on their basis. A world in which the magician Cabe Bedlam and his wife Gwendolyn again and again find themselves drawn into wars of “sword and sorcery”... A world in in which the peaceful, sun-drenched magical lands are invaded by ruthless wolf raiders, who know no mercy and possess terrible witchcraft secrets... A world in which the brave Wellen Bedlam sets off at the head of a handful of daredevils to a distant, legendary continent, where, as the legend says, the strongest rules of the dragons living today is the Purple...Somewhere in the country of the Purple Dragon lurks, it is said, the Book of Dragons - the key to the secrets of the great magical Power. However, woe to the one who dares to touch the Book of Dragons, and thrice woe to the one who dares to interfere in the course of the history of the Dragon Kingdom...
