The Old Dragon's Head is a new fantasy novel from author Justin Newland.
Set in the China of ancient days, the novel tells the story of the Great Wall of China and the Dragon Master of that era.
A Dragon Master is given birth to. He is imbued with heavenly powers, and he is the only person who can summon the Old Dragon, but only if he is in possession of the special dragon pearl.
However, all is not right. In the year 1400 the Old Dragon, the dragon pearl and the Dragon Master himself have not been seen for two decades.
Bolin is a young man who is troubled by visions of ghostly apparitions. It is believed that he has paranormal gifts.
Bolin's Lord, the Prince of Yan, rebels against his blood nephew, the Jianwan emperor which brings about a bitter war to see who will succeed to the throne.
But the Dragon Throne can only ever truly be earned by a Heavenly Mandate and with the support of the Old Dragon.
But who, or what, is Bolin? Is he the Dragon Master? If he is, can he help save China?
It's an exceptionally well-written book which takes one back to the China of the year 1400.
It's published by Matador at £9.99 and will make an excellent Christmas gift for those who enjoy fantasy, but which has a basis in reality.
