Belfry's Mage: a novel in verse

By O. R. Dorian

The year is 1856. Two babies enter the world within moments of each other and a young mother in Munich loses her family in a factory fire. A war ends with thousands dead and airships usher in the dawn over Europe. A wearied tsar and quasi-king discuss the fate of the free world over cold tea. Thirteen year old Mercy Adelaide mourns her previous life and begins anew in London. The year is 1863. The Belfry's Mage makes a imperial entry over the city of London. For Mercy, now a marriageable English princess, it is an unwelcome reminder of a past that was taken from her. When the ambitious Captain Belfry makes her an offer she cannot refuse, the dashing Grand Duke Nicholas makes a play for her hand. Seven years to the day have passed since 1856 changed their lives, but for Mercy the choice between love and duty stands the test of time.Author O.R. Dorian straddles the line between poetry and prose in this refreshing twist on the verse novel. Combined with the story of a young woman forced to contend between love and duty, Belfry's Mage is both empowering and tragic, an instant classic.
