Book description
The gathering forces of the Dark Powers threaten the world of man. The
legions of Faery, aided by trolls, demons and the Wild Hunt itself, are
poised to overthrow the Realms of Light. Holger Carlsen, a bemused and
puzzled twentieth-century man mysteriously snatched out of time, finds
himself the key figure in the conflict. Arrayed against him are the
dragons, giants and elven warriors of the armies of Chaos, and the
beautiful sorceress Morgan le Fay. On his side is a vague prophecy, a
quarrelsome dwarf and a beautiful woman who can turn herself into a
swan, not to mention Papillon, the magnificent battle-horse, and a full
set of perfectly fitting armour, both of which were waiting for him when
he entered the magical realm. The shield bears three hearts and three
lions - the only clue to Holger Carlsen's true identity. Could Carlsen
really be a legendary hero, the only man who can save the world?
