Carwenna Cadwaladr

The Dragon Gate Carwenna Cadwaladr

When a teenage girl's imagination becomes a gateway to another world, the lost tales of the ancient past are brought to life... The oldest known surviving tales in Welsh storytelling tradition, 'The Mabinogion', have been retold and reimagined time and time again but then there are the forgotten tales: 'The Lost Mabinogion'. The creative gifts and talents of eighteen-year-old Ceri Buckley offer her refuge from her abusive brother Marc, but she won't accept the help of her best friend Dante or local restaurant owner Gabe Martelli. When Dante takes her to an extraordinary night club that has sprung up in the middle of their rundown town in the Welsh valleys, Ceri meets a remarkable man called Rhain who promises to rescue her from her miserable life and take her to his world, the Otherworld. When Rhain takes her through the Dragon Gate into the Otherworld, the lost stories of the Island of Britain are revived with the breath of her imagination and restored to life in the most unexpected and dramatic way. Ceri experiences her deepest desires and darkest nightmares on the journey that follows, and the true power of her imagination has consequences for the Otherworld that she and no-one else could ever have predicted... This is the story of a young woman discovering how love, friendship and imagination can build bridges across the vast oceans of time and space. It is a story of worlds and a world of stories. It is a story told like no other.
