Melvaig's Vision
Author: Richard Ford
 
High on a hill, behind the twisted trunk of an ancient oak, stood Melvaig . . .
A whirlwind of slaughter and brutal abduction descended from nowhere: the life of the peaceful hamlet of Ruann was ended forever on the day Xtlan's warriors found it. And for Melvaig, whose wife Morven had been stolen from him, capture and enslavement lay in store.
But Melvaig was luckier than most of the doomed helots of Xtlan. in his possession was the mysterious Book from Before the War, and his lover for Morven kept hope alive - hope that he might live to free Morven and his young son Bracca from the depraved clutches of Xtlan and its foul tyranny . . .
