Product Description

Product Description

ELEGY FOR A LOST STAR sets the stage for a major turning point in the Symphony of Ages series. The dragon Anwyn--who has lain for three years in deathlike sleep in a grave of rock and black coal is freed by the cataclysm that concluded Requiem For The Sun. Disoriented and confused, she remembers only two things-the person who trapped her in dragon form and locked her in the grave - Rhapsody - and an all-encompassing desire to wreak vengeance. Meanwhile, Achmed, the Firbolg king, resumes rebuilding the his shattered home, while a guild of merciless assassins set about taking revenge on him for the killing of their leader. A horribly deformed but magical being finds its way through a carnival of freaks to the palace of an evil despot, who sees in it the potential to be the instrument by which his plans of conquest and brutal domination of a continent will be realized. With the rise of new leaders, good and evil, the long-awaited birth of the Child of Time, the dark plans of assassins and rulers, a confrontation that shakes the relationship of the Three, and a battle to the death between two dragons of unimaginable elemental power, the seeds of chaos are planted for a war that will, by its end, consume half of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The saga continues and gets better, 21 Feb 2005
By Joe Williams (Plano, Texas) - See all my reviews
The vast majority of the fantasy epics out there lose steam completely after book 3. Blessedly, The Symphony of Ages is not one of them. Elegy for a Lost Star takes turns that have never before been scene in the genre, and demonstrates Haydon's astonishing skills at their best. The characters change and grow as real people might, love as real people might, argue as real people do. How refreshing that we are not seeing the same story played out over and over again *coughGoodkindcough* but rather discovering more and more the beauty, the horror and colours of Haydon's endless imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent continuation of a stellar series, 5 Oct 2004
By Joe Williams (Plano, Texas) - See all my reviews
I have enjoyed Elizabeth Haydon's work in all its forms, including her short stories in the LEGENDS 2 anthology and Andrew Greeley's EMERALD MAGIC. I think she is at her best with long fiction, and so was somewhat shocked at the thinness of this volume. The story, however, is deceptively complex and rich, and moves at a very fast pace. In defence of the book's length, I would say that it is precisely the right length, and I recommend it highly.
