Book Description

New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon delivers a special collector's-edition tale of unexpected passion woven from the mysteries of a celebrated ancient tapestry.

Beautiful scholar Channon MacRea has spent years studying the legendary Dragon Tapestry, devoting days and nights to deciphering the impenetrable Old English symbolism. Then one evening the unnaturally handsome Sebastian appears. He claims to hold the key to solving the tapestry's mysteries. Bearing magnificently taut and tanned flesh marked by intriguing scars of battle, he also claims to be a dragon slayer trapped between two worlds.

For Channon there's only one way to finally uncover the secrets of the intricate embroidery-by following the seductive stranger into a fantastic alternate world of magic, danger, and erotic adventure.

Short and sweet.......2007-05-24

This book was a bit of a surprise as I didn't realise it was a short story until receiveing it in the mail. Having said that, it was a lovely story in the usual vein of Sherrilyn Kenyon, lots of suprising attraction and lust from both parties, at least one georgeous male and a normal woman (with a brain even!!) who gets her hunk.
I'd like to see this expanded upon into a full novel as I have a particular liking for dragons and the idea of one being a yummy man as well...that sounds just wonderful.
So now I'm just waiting eagerly for her next book to come out.

A DRAGON GENTLEMAN.......2007-05-17

I REALLY LIKE THE WAY SHERRILYN KENYON TELLS A STORY. VERY FEW OF HER BOOKS I DO NOT CARE FOR. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE BOOKS OF HERS. CAROLE

Very short story.......2007-05-14

Not bad, not as good as some of the other books though.

Short Story with Some New Information.......2007-05-12

I really think that the only reason I sort of liked this short story was that it added more information to the Dark-Hunters series as a whole. I know it is only a short story but the plot seemed to be lacking somewhat and the characters, even for a short story, seemed highly underdeveloped and I did not really like either one of them. Dragonswan is about a scholar named Channon MacRea that is studying an ancient Dragon Tapestry. She seems to sense a special connection with it and an underlying meaning in the supposed mythology. Sebastian appears one night; unbeknownst to her, Sebastian is a dragon himself, who holds the mysteries of the tapestry. The story seems to end really abruptly and the conflict is resolved far to quickly, I think this might have been a better story if she had actually turned it into a full-blown novel.

Expensive on Amazon .......2007-03-30

I have not read the book yet but am extremely disapointed in the price! Not sure why Amazon is charging $5 for a $3 book that only has 87 pages.
I agree with Diana it is not worth buying this from Amazon.

Product Description

The Quest for answers begins...with a dream.

There havent been any dragons in Pretava for generations. Most people assume they died out long ago or were merely creatures of myth and legend.

But not everyone...

The Krys witch, Laural, knows that somehow her fate is bound up in the dragons disappearance. The answers are trapped, concealed in the forbidden history of her people and her own unresolved past. Something terrible happened in the Before Time, and dreams of dragons invade the young witchs sleep until she can take them no longer.

Laural is certain that unless she learns what really happened to the dragons of Pretava, the same fate awaits the people of Dragon Swan.

The tendency today is to think of the fantasy genre as kid stuff...but Trish Reynolds blows that theory out of the water. This is not your childrens Harry Potter. Hang on for a ride full of adventure, dragons, and even sex. Fantasy is not exclusively for the younger set anymore!

Couldn't put it down........2006-04-06

reviewed by Angela Wilds for fantasynovelreview.com

Look out! The Dragons are returning to Pretava, bringing trouble close behind...or are they? Laural's troubled dreams are telling her it's so, but the Dragons have been gone from Pretava since the Before Times, if they ever existed. Laural knows she must find out the meaning of her dreams before she can ever achieve happiness with her betrothed, Mykal, the handsome Lord of Dragon Swan and its Province.

While Mykal isn't happy with Laural's decision, he loves her enough to wait until she works her way through her misgivings. Mykal would give his life for Laural. Together, they work out a plan to visit Zyalia, Laural's mentor and protector, the mysterious Old One of Ryndolt Forest. Only Zyalia can help Laural detect the meaning of her dreams and assume her destiny.

As Laural and Mykal make their way through the forest to Zyalia's dwelling, a dark assassin fires a poison dart at Mykal. In a desperate attempt to save Mykal's life, Laural sends a hasty mind call to any healer in the area and places Mykal in a state of suspended animation. Hopefully, it will be enough to save him until help can come! During all the confusion, the assassin abducts Laural, leaving Mykal to his fate. Luckily, Zyalia has heard Laural's frantic plea and hurries to Mykal's aid.

While Zyalia works to heal Mykal, Laural is held captive by the wicked Sorceress Rylinian and her accomplice, Magus Cryddyn. The corrupt Rylinian plans to use Laural in her bid to become the Dark Queen of all the land. Zyalia and Mykal stage a daring rescue of Laural. Then comes a mad dash to make good their escape and warn Willawyn, the High King of Pretava, of Rylinian's evil plan.

Finally, in the capital city of Thannon, Laural and Mykal find King Willawyn's court a veritable hot bed of intrigue! Is the King's heir, Lord Balizar, plotting against his father; or is Willawyn's friend Al'Fyndaln, the half elf, just being hoodwinked? The evidence points directly to Balizar, but are Lord Balizar's degenerate friends behind the plot? Is there someone else more sinister and menacing behind it all? Who is sending the assassins that keep creating mayhem? Just who is the mysterious Seeker who joins the story? Is he friend or foe, good or evil? Will Laural and Mykal finally marry and live happily ever after or is their destiny something altogether different? I'll never tell!

I'd have to call The Witch of Dragon Swan the book of questions. Like the old-time cliffhanger movies of the 40's, this book bewitches the reader into reading "just one more chapter" to see if they've guessed correctly before putting it down and attending to the duties of life. I have to admit to being guilty of it. I read until my eyes just wouldn't obey me anymore. Ah, but Ms. Reynolds doesn't give up her secrets so easily! Some of those answers are saved for book two, The Demons of Drey (soon to be reviewed on this site).

In this first book in the Seeker's Quest series, Trish Reynolds enchants her readers by weaving a spell of romance, intrigue, betrayal and coming of age. It's a tale full of good people--with their faults, just trying to make things better. It also has its twisted, malevolent bad guys and most importantly its magic! What would a fantasy book be without magic? If you'd like to be transported to another place and time, The Witch of Dragon Swan can do that for you!

WOW!.......2005-12-14

I was hooked on Ms Reynolds writing from the minute I first read Book 1 of the Doctor and the Witch...and now I am totally blown away.

The Witch of Dragon Swan is one of the best books in any genre that I have ever read. From the first paragraph (immediately hooked) to the last (I need more!)this book rocks.

Laural, the Witch of Dragon Swan and Mykal, the Lord of Dragon Swan have some issues. Problems with their relationship fade into the background when Laural is kidnapped and Mykal left for dead by her abductors... and that's only for starters!

As in her other series, Ms Reynolds takes the reader on a wild ride with barely time for a breath. I wanted to read the whole book in one sitting...and when I was finished the next one couldn't get here fast enough.

Just like the other reviewers I can't wait to see more in this series and from this author.

The Witch of Dragon Swan .......2005-09-16

This book is a must read for any fans of LOTR or D & D. A great story of myth and magic told by a grand storyteller. The author is masterful at pacing the story. Setting the scenes and developing the characters concisely and quickly enough to gain the full flavor without putting you to sleep. (No offence to J. R. R., but he did tend to ramble on) In fact, much like the Witch and the Doctor series, you'll be flipping the pages as fast as your eyes can read. There are a number of characters that all of us can relate to on some level, so before long you'll have your favorite. But be forewarned, do not get too attached to your hero/heroine, as you might receive quite a shock as the story developes. As the synopsis states, "this is not your kid's Harry Potter." Without spilling too much of the delicious plot, keep in mind that there isn't always going to be a happily ever after ... That being said, you'll delight in the depth of character development. You will really empathise with their trials and triumphs. The detailed description of the scenery and surroundings will make you pull up your collar and pull down your cap in anticipation of "the Change." I highly recommend this book to any fantasy buffs and offer it as a rewarding change of pace to any mystery/suspense/thriller readers.

I love it........2005-09-06

The world of The Witch of Dragon Swan is reminiscent of any world created by Marion Zimmer Bradley or Anne McCafferty. Magic and non-human folk populate the pages. Trish Reynolds immediately draws the reader into Laural's world with the same seamless skill.

Laural has visions of dragons. Dragons are long extinct in Pretava. Laural means to follow her visions to their conclusion and find out their meaning, even if it means leaving her soul mate, Mykal behind. Meanwhile a plot to assassinate the high king has been uncovered.

Mykal follows his beloved Laural on her quest to find the meaning of the dragons of her dream s only to be ensnared unwittingly into what will become a fight of good against evil. He and Laural's friend, Zyalia, travel into a foreign land to save Laurel from a fate worse than death.

At the court of the High King, intrigue abounds. Who is behind the assassination attempts and mysterious deaths and why? What will happen if the Heir to the Kingdom is as unfit to rule as he appears? Are the long-gone dragons the enemy? Or are they the kingdom's savoir?

Ms. Reynolds tells a tale with so many interwoven layers, you'll never want to put down this book. Just when you think you've figured out who the bad guys are, another character puts in an appearance or you learn something more about the characters you thought you already knew. Ms. Reynolds weaves a tale of many interwoven layers, including a cliff hanger of an ending that will have you running for the next volume in this trilogy as fast as you can get to the book shop!

Book Description

Clear, focused, and practical, this book is a useful introduction to ABA for parents and professionals working with children with autism.

Successful child rearing is an essential skill for any parent. For most of us this skill is handed down from our own parents and society in general. In real terms this means that rather than relying on any formal instruction to help us, we bring up our children using skills based largely upon common sense and a willingness to do our best. These methods are, by-and-large, successful in everyday situations. However, when it comes to more difficult aspects of developing skills in our children, we need something more dependable than good will. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), the systematic implementation of scientifically proven behavioural principles offers just that. Aimed at enhancing people's lives in ways that they or their carers feel are important, it includes a variety of methods and techniques which can be used to promote, decrease, or maintain skills for daily living.

ABA has been used to help children with autism for many years in many countries. In Northern Ireland the PEAT group offers parents the education necessary to become their own child's therapists using ABA. In this book these parents and the professionals involved in their training share their knowledge, experience, and successes.

This book is great and "user friendly" for the parent who is looking to start a home program. Better info and easier to digest than many of the books available. An excellent first book if you are thinking of ABA for your child.

This book gives the reader a first hand view of the elusivehorseshoe crab! It deftly covers the anatomy, characteristics, range,and issues surrounding the little talked about, but much studied creature. The photos and text are outstanding, the best I've seen so far. I am a Biology teacher in Delaware, and find this book an invaluable addition to my Delaware Bay Ecology curriculum.

First-rate book on a specialized Victorian topic - the bride!.......2006-08-13

The Victorians paid a lot of especial attention to wedding costumery, as Joanne Olian shows in her slim volume displaying the evolution of bridal and bridal-party fashion from 1860 to 1912 as seen in the fashion plates of the famous magazine "La Mode Illustree". The illustrations, all in B&W, are full-page and always accompanied by at least one paragraph of descriptive text taken from the original source material. This book should be owned in conjunction with Olian's other volume, "Victorian and Edwardian Fashions from La Mode Illustree", for a really comprehensive look at the topic of Victorian fashion. Also, anyone who is considering organizing a Victorian-themed wedding will definitely want to peruse this book for ideas!

What the well dressed Victorian bride was wearing.......2003-03-09

Dover has a whole series of books devoted to reproductions of vintage fashions. "Wedding Fashions, 1860-1912: 380 Costume Designs from 'La Mode Illustree'" has not only reproductions of illustrations but also detailed descriptive captions. These are not just bridal gowns done in satin, taffeta, and lace, but also creations for bridal attendants, sisters of the bride, and so forth (the idea that the sister of the bride has to have a special dress was an interesting insight into Victorian society). These authentic Victorian fashions will be of interest to costume designers, cultural historians, and fashion enthusiasts. Companion volumes provide full-color fashion plates, contemporary photographs, and authentic fashion patterns.

excellent victorian costume source.......2000-07-07

delightful book with lots of pictures of victorian style wedding attire. useful for "dedicated to detail costumers' and for modern brides who want the victorian look for their weddings as well. plenty of detail pictures of shoes, corsets undergarments,headdresses etc. i would definitely recommend this book.

Design Trumps Function?.......2007-03-11

For a design book, it would be fabulous except for the fact that you need a magnifying glass in order to read it (what appears to be 5pt type set in gray). For this reason, when design and layout of the book negates the purpose (function) of the book, it is rendered useless. Rockport is well known for its beautiful graphic design books, but I have noticed several of their other titles also designed this way. Sorry I bought it, sold it for a loss.

Almost unreadable.......2007-02-02

Most of the type in this book has been done using a size 6 Font which as far as I am concerned makes it practically unreadable. The content may be great, but I can't tell as I refuse to ruin my eyes trying to read type this small. It remainds me of the disclaimers that advertisers use at the bottom so you can't read them. Unless you absolutely must have this book, I would strongly advise finding another one

this is a great book, it give a very nice examples about the best graphics in the market and how it was made. It can inspire you.

Great for Big City Designers, but not for me.......2007-01-22

I produce newsletters for non-profit's on a true shoestring budget. I am constantly searching for inspiration that is do-able on a shoestring budget (no color, no fancy paper, no long-winded discussions about the "role" of the designer - "sheesh") but found literally nothing in this book helpful to me, that makes the book worth keeping on my shelf.

If you have big budgets and staff, this book might be useful for you.

When going with two colors is a "challenge" you know that the designers whose work is being held up as the best of design really have no clue about the challenges faced by those working for needy but worthwhile agencies who cannot afford to hire "designers" but need to get information out, and attempt to do so in a visually pleasing and accessible way.
