|
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> |
