Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

While the druids of the Isle of the Mighty predict the coming of one whose song will change the world, a young priestess in Atlantis foresees the destruction of her homeland. The love story of the bard Taliesin and the Princess Charis begins a new series for Lawhead ("The Empyrion Saga" and the "Dragon King Trilogy"). This graceful combination of Atlantean legend, Celtic myth, and Christian messagereminiscent of C.S. Lewisis highly recommended. JC

From AudioFile

As Germanic tribes free the Isle of Britain from its Roman conquerors, the legend of Taliesin is born. Taliesin, a legendary bard, falls in love with Princess Charis, and together they have a son Merlin, who grows up to become the fabled magician at the court of King Arthur. This magical story will occupy the imaginations of young listeners as it is brought to vivid life by the untiring voice of Nadia May. Her voice evokes the sweetness of the legend, and the images of the fabled characters come to life. When the tapes end, the imagery carries on. J.K.R.

5.0 out of 5 stars not to be missed, Jun 21 2004
By Krista Casada - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Taliesin (Paperback)
Please, please do not get hung up on the fact that earlier editions of this book included potatoes! This is a powerful fantasy with a lot to say about loyalty, love, purity, and integrity in everyday "real life." One fascinating aspect of the book is Lawhead's ability to weave together stories that you might not have thought of together before--Atlantis, Taliesin, and Arthur all are eventually brought to life against the fading background glory of the Roman Empire. Miracles and magic mingle with nitty-gritty questions of survival, and moral dilemmas are neither ducked nor glossed over. This book is, and will stay, on my keeper shelf as a Christian response to those writers who seem to think fantasy must be tawdry and shocking to be any good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not just Bad, but offensive as well., April 4 2004
By N. Aff "copperfields_seb" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Taliesin: Book One Of The Pendragon Cycle (Mass Market Paperback)
I was not expecting to be blown away by this book, but I was also not expecting to have my time wasted with Christian Romantasy. Taliesin, one of the most ancient and powerful figures in Celtic and British Myth,a converted Christian?! The idea is patently absurd. I could go on, but this kind of tripe makes my head hurt to even think about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Christian Fantasy, Jun 3 2003
By Matt (Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taliesin: Book One Of The Pendragon Cycle (Mass Market Paperback)
Lawhead incorporates the Arthurian fantasy world with the Ideals of Christendom for an enjoyable scenario. Sometimes it is very slow paced, while others are fascinating and exciting. It was interesting, but i've not read any of the sequels following it in the past few years since reading this.

I guess i'm the middle ground on this. The other reviews paint it either horribly or as something wonderful. Well, it's neither. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to the naysayers!
Don't listen to the readers who complained about this book not being up to the normal standard within the fantasy genre. Taliesin is a very different mode of fantasy fiction. Read more
