Upon finishing his debut novel, The Dark Thorn, author Shawn Speakman knew he would return to its world of Annwn. He does that here in The Twilight Dragon & Other Tales of Annwn. Four short stories anchor this collection of magic and darkness, conflict and shadows:

• Where an ancient dragon seeking a cure for his dying race returns to the Misty Isles of his birth--to devastating result.


• Where an unfettered knight enters Rome's Vatican to end the threat of a vampire--who bears the darkest of secrets.


• Where an Arch Druid tracks a witch--who in turn chases a thief who has stolen dangerous books of shadow magic.


• Where a musician is coerced to return to a past she abhors--to confront a shattered gargoyle whose past is just as hated.

All four short stories play a role in and are preludes to The Everwinter Wraith, the sequel novel to The Dark Thorn. As a bonus, the first three chapters of The Everwinter Wraith are also included in this collection.

And Annwn will never be the same again.
