For the fans of Braveheart and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys comes on all-new, original novel based on the popular new television series about the exploits of Conor, the reluctant king of the Celts.
The Year is 400 A.D. Roman Warriors Have Plundered the continent. In this time of strife, in the land that will become known as Ireland, a reluctant hero listens to the ancient voices and rises from tragedy to claim his destiny: to free his people from enslavement and lead them back to glory. Created by Shaun Cassidy, the mastermind behind American Gothic, and Ron Koslow, who brought Beauty and the Beast to life, Roar is the story of Conor and his ragtag band of allies in their struggle against the villainy of Queen Diana and the mysterious Longinus. Brandishing the sword of his father and unleashing the magical powers within, Conor must fight for freedom to save the Roar -- the mystical force that echoes through every living thing and is the power of life. Reverberating with fantasy, magic, and danger, Roar is a must for all devotees of swords and sorcery.
Synopsis
The Curse Conor's eyes fill with tears as he gazes on the parched fields of his beloved home. The Celtic isles groan under a curse: The seasons are askew, and the once-emerald hills are sere and barren. The people's only hope is a legendary Cauldron, hidden amid the icy stones of the north, which can lift the curse and restore the land's bounty.
Only a sorcerer would conceive of such a Quest; only a youth would dare it. Conor's sword is as eager as his heart, answering every challenge--until an awesome beauty steps into the path. Riru is her name. Is she Destiny, robed in glory like the sun? Or Desire, who, unrobed, will tempt Conor to death and dishonor?
Based on characters featured in the Fox television drama, Roar. Created by Shaun Cassidy, creator of American Gothic, and Ron Koslow, creator of Beauty and the Beast. Produced by Universal Television.
