Frank Albert Ferland, born on July 9, 1947, in Bremerhaven, Germany, began writing this, his first fantasy novel, more than 13 years ago.
His aim was to show that it is also possible to pen a story with no violence.
After retiring, he finally found the time to finish it with active support from Uwe Schmid and Claudia Matusche. The original German text was translated into English by Leslie Ocker.
This book is dedicated to his two now-adult children, Caroline and Sebastian.
