SALT LAKE CITY, March 13, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In the kingdom of Afran, a land of magic and fairytales, lives a power-hungry dragon named Glitterscale, a charming prince named Darian and his beautiful future bride, Princess Delora. With a colorful cast and an intriguing storyline, A Tale of Magic and Mystery (now available through 1stBooks Library) introduces a battle of good versus evil. Written by children's author Kerry Cochrane, the book takes readers on a delightful ride through an exciting, mythical time.
The conflict begins when Glitterscale kidnaps the princess, ruining the royal wedding and forging the opposing kingdoms into war. Having once possessed the great orb of power before the king stole it from him, Glitterscale is determined to reclaim his power and attain what he believes to be his rightful place as ruler of the world. Now that he has captured the fair princess, Glitterscale plans to recapture the orb and make Delora his queen.
Once Darian finds out Glitterscale's plans, he sets out to rescue his beloved. Venturing into the Darklands, however, means the prince must encounter and battle strange creatures and beings. When he comes face to face with the horrifying monster that is Glitterscale, his confidence falters and he wonders if he will emerge victorious or even emerge at all.
Spellbinding and mysterious, A Tale of Magic and Mystery keeps readers flipping pages until the very enticing end.
