|
||
|
|
Karadur and Tenjiro are twin sons of Kojiro Antani, the dragon lord of Ippa.
|
||
|
|
But only Karadur, whose name means "fire-bringer," bears the blood of the
|
||
|
|
dragon in his veins. His younger brother, Tenjiro or "Heaven's hope," was
|
||
|
|
second out of the womb and is the weakest and smallest of the two. As the
|
||
|
|
twins grow to maturity, Karadur is anxious to attain the promise of his blood
|
||
|
|
and transform into the dragon he is capable of becoming. But Tenjiro, who
|
||
|
|
bears the scars of Karadur's claws, resents his older brother and, on the eve
|
||
|
|
of Karadur's transformation, steals the talisman that makes the change
|
||
|
|
possible. That same night he disappears, fleeing to a distant, icy realm where
|
||
|
|
he will reemerge as a powerful wizard bent on destroying his older brother.
|
||
|
|
But Karadur, lord of Dragon Keep, is prepared to go to war against Tenjiro,
|
||
|
|
and it's likely only one will survive. --Craig Engler (less)</p>

<p>A fantasy book with changelings, a feud between brothers and a medieval
|
||
|
|
setting.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The problem? It is too cliché.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure it's a simple read, but the amount of clichés, like the big baddie, the
|
||
|
|
corruption of a character by some supernatural power, the character with an
|
||
|
|
immense power that he needs to learn how to control, even the freaking "let me
|
||
|
|
build a character you'll cheer for and I'll kill them" is there.</p>
