For
days after that eventful union, Boremac passed much of the coins and gems from
the chest into the hands of the common people that had suffered so much in
recent times, withholding only so much as the rogue could carry in his coin
purses. The rumors that originated at the union of Gregor and Tana became
stories and the stories became legends that grew and changed with each telling.

 
 

           
In
time bards across the lands related the legend of the alliance of the God of
Light and the Goddess of Nature who had joined to travel into the Abyss itself
to destroy the Unnamed One, the Lord of the Abyss. The two divine forces had
fallen in love, and their union had been blessed with a gift from the Dragon
King, delivered by the great leader of the fire giants living in the Forsaken
Mountains. Years later, Gregor smiled as he listened to the telling of the
tale, he and Tana resting at an inn far from their home, and thought to
himself....Some things will never change.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

           
           
There
are too many people… family, friends and acquaintances, that have made this
book a reality to try to list them all here, but I want to thank some
individuals who pushed me, inspired me and made me realize that I had a story
worth telling.

My
partner and loving wife, Dian, who edited this entire book, and parts of it,
more times than I can count. She also drove me to write the initial manuscript
and worked to create a beautiful tribute to the Knights of the Golden Dragon in
the cover art with little more than my initial description.

I also
wish to thank
Arwen
Woods, my stepdaughter and second
final editor for catching all the little stuff we missed (commas!!!) and for
putting a fresh set of eyes on it for general readability.

I want
to thank my Uncle Louis for showing me when I was growing up that you never
really have to stop loving play and pursuing your dreams.

Last I
want to thank my Uncle Jimmy. He passed from this world long before the writing
of this book, but he taught me long ago to believe in myself. I love and miss
him very much.
