A young girl's development into a powerful sorcereress, involving a quest for the legendary firebird and a battle against evil magicians.
The Loud Mountain is an all-age trilogy which can be read by anyone: rather as can Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc.
The story concerns the struggle between good and evil in the Land of Galdégária: a thousand years after the last struggle – the Chaos Wars. It is a time when evil is resurgent again.
The novel is action focussed and the characters develop progressively over the three volumes. The main heroine is a young girl called Sharaval with exceptional latent magic powers who is to be trained as an enchantress as she is believed to be the one who will save the land from the rising evil. The main heroes are a young boy called Zhomar – slightly older than Sharaval; and Garval, a powerful wizard. There is lots of magic; and there are many different creatures: dragons, centaurs, gryphons, wyverns; evil magicians and dark creatures – banshees, ximeras, lizards, manticores and so on; and lots of other heroes/heroines, adventures and sub-plots.
