Publisher's Synopsis
This story is dedicated to Christmas in all of its glory. Christmas has always been my very favorite holiday, and it is my honor and privilege to share this story as a Christmas gift to those of you who follow the Gewellyn Chronicles. Santa Claus, the presents under the tree, the Christmas carols, the choirs, the children in the church Christmas pageant, the bells ringing in the storefronts, the cookies baking in the oven. Christmas trees, Christmas wreaths, Christmas stockings, Christmas memories; they all mean so much to me. The stories, Dickens' Christmas Carol, "It's a Wonderful Life," "Polar Express," and the stories I've written; The Rising of the White Eagle, the Coming of the Great Lion, and the story behind them all, the birth of our Savior in Bethlehem.I know that there are those who have a hard time with Christmas. I know there are those who are having a hard time this Christmas. I know there are those who, sadly, want nothing to do with Christmas. I hope this story will give them hope because that is what Christmas is truly all about. Hope.Faith, family, and friendship. That is what the Gewellyn Chronicles, "The Journeys of Connor Clark," and "The Adventures of Fiona Clark," are also all about. So, on behalf of Connor and Iolena, Alenia and Abrallan, Shannon and Lochlain, Menta Kai, Lona, and Joseph, Fiona, Berian and Aillbe, Arianna, Sean and little Connor, Talia, Taeral and Estella, Tanya Joy and Penant, Richard, Kitlaen and Alistronia, Tlannatar and Maeryn, Thallan and Lady Celantine, and all the rest of the characters who make up the wonderful worlds of the Gewellyn Chronicles, I wish you the Hope, Peace, Joy and the Wonder that is Christmas.Nollaig Shona go léir!Hans and Ellen ErdmanDecember 2017
