PRESS RELEASE: New from Norilana - A SONG OF AWAKENING
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Norilana Books is proud to present A Song of Awakening by Roby James, a monumental, richly romantic historical with a subtle touch of fantasy.
"Roby James writes with passion and intelligence."
-Jack McDevitt

-Susan Shwartz
A Song of Awakening
by Roby James
Born into the 13th century's turmoil and warfare, Briana of Flint is a lady of legend. Myrrdin, the greatest bard in Wales, prophesied at her birth that she would "rise from fetters and bring freedom with her."
In the struggle of the Welsh against the ruthless King Edward I of England, Briana loses almost everything she loves -- her family, her home, and her liberty. But three extraordinary men offer her ways to discover the ultimate, unanticipated truth of Myrrdin's prophecy.
Ine, a lesser bard, has no idea why he has been chosen to inherit the Welsh bardic tradition...
Rees, the King's nephew, experiences a near death on Crusade, an event that transforms him more than anyone guesses...
Owen Glyn, the last of the Welsh rebels, gathers to himself in the fastness of Snowdonia all that remains of Prince Llewelyn's dream of freedom for Wales...
Ranging from the deep valleys and high mountains of Wales to the English court at Windsor and Westminster, with stops in France and the Holy Land, this intricate story of music, swordplay, loss, and redemption follows exceptional men and women trying to live in an age with values different from their own -- an age of awakening.
