The Bonding: Book One of The Song and the Rhythm

By Brian C. Hager

Sean Matthews is a young man whose imagination never quite leaves his books. He grew up reading and loving stories of fantasy, and dreamed himself into such places to avoid facing his many perceived shortcomings. If he could only have an adventure in the kind of world he imagines, he knows he could build the inner strength and self-confidence it takes to be a man.Drath is the leader of a small group of adventurers hailing from just the kind of world Sean wishes to be part of. He comes to Sean with an appeal for help against a Dark Wizard who threatens to tear down the barriers keeping their worlds separate in an attempt to rule them both. But his actions will serve only to destroy them.Dare Sean believe him? Dare he let himself be persuaded to travel with Drath and his friends? As much as he'd wish it, at heart he knows he cannot indulge his imagination because he must live in the world in which he was born. But what if he does, and in so doing finds his deepest desire can indeed be fulfilled? How greatly will it change him? Will he even recognize himself once the transformation is complete?So begins the epic adventure in the first book of The Song and the Rhythm. A young man from the modern, technological world must battle deadly creatures and deadlier magic in a fantasy world that seems much more like home. Along the way, he finds stalwart companions and high adventure that demand he accept himself and his unexpected claim to a legendary heritage.
