Delan the Mislaid (Children of the Triad) [Paperback]

Laurie J. Marks (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

An object of derision because of the lumpy deformities on his back, the misfit creature known as Delan begins a painful journey of self-discovery when he is purchased by a sadistic sorcerer who intends to use Delan's latent power for his own purposes. Delan's transformation from a monster without a past to a graceful airborne creature with the ability to control his own--and his world's--future results in an engaging fantasy-adventure, simply and elegantly told. Recommended.-- JC

This review is from: Delan the Mislaid (Children of the Triad) (Paperback)

Delan the Mislaid is one of the few book that has a keep value to it. Laurie Marks did a good job of putting the reader into the main character's role. The emotions throughout the book mimics real life. Delan, an aerie in a world of 3 races, is phisically and emotionally abused by the "master" Tekan. It is during this time Delan goes through the changes that makes the walkers int the town hate him. Only by the love and help from another aerie, does he find the way to defeat Tekan from destroying the whole aerie race. I consider this to be a classic no-one should miss.
