There is a prophecy among the deer. One day, a fawn will be born with the mark of an oak leaf upon his forehead. His courage will lead the deer to freedom; his strength will defeat their greatest enemy. Rannoch was born on the night his father was murdered. In a herd where hunger for power has destroyed all that is good, he must escape to survive. Hunted by stags with antlers sharpened for the kill, Rannoch begins his treacherous journey. But he will return - to face the destiny that he was born for; to conquer the force that drove him away...In a dark, troubled time, the prophecy is about to come true..."...brimming with a gusty excitement that leaps off the page and straight into the imagination, David Clement-Davies' debut novel for children is an exceptional, dynamic, complex and utterly absorbing piece of work" - Susan Harrison, Amazon.co.uk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caught up in Fiction, November 12, 2003

This review is from: Fire Bringer (Paperback)

If you ever wanted something that was worth reading, then i suggest Fire Bringer by David Clement-Dawes. If you dont, then, well, i pity your imaginative soul and the survival of your imagination. Im in love, and its with this book. Books have that affect on me, and its rather pathetic, but i surrender to new worlds each and every time i pick one up. This is only the 2nd book that ive ever read thats touched me so much that im pissed off even when a least favorite character of mine dies, i literally threw it against the wall, and then retreived it and apologized for my unrashness. How can something fictional affect my real life? I think im wandering between reality and fiction, and im liking fiction alot more. Who knows, some day i may end up in the looney bin, but with my imagination, i will not be alone. No indeed.

The book. So much deception, and murder, and conspiracy, i love it to death. A prophecy that must be fufilled, or death will come to all the Herne. People, read this book, if you like to read. Even if you dont like to read. This book is a god amongst anthromorphic books, and im loving it.

This review is from: Fire Bringer (Paperback)

This book rules. The beggining is sad, (i cried. ;( )
But this book is good for reader's who like nice thick books, and who like animals.
Fire Bringer is about a buck ( boy deer ) named Rannoch. Born on the night his father is murdered by Sgorr and Drail, his life is based upon a prophecy. His mother is forced to go with Sgorr and Drail, and Rannoch lives with another hind. (girl deer) But then they must flee, starting Rannoch's extrodinary adventure and destiny.
This might not have been the best review... but GET THIS BOOK. ONCE YOU READ IT, READ A BOOK CALLED: THE SIGHT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Bringer, June 8, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Fire Bringer (Paperback)

Imagine that you have just given birth to a beautiful fawn, only to find out that his father had been viciously murdered only moments before. You are Eloin, and now are forced to be with the malicious Lord of the Herd, Drail. When Eloin's fawn, Rannoch, is five months old, he must leave the Home Herd with a doe that he thinks is his mother because of a Prophecy. For six years, Rannoch's journey leads him to encounter his special powers, his problems, secrets and Lera(animals) along the way.
I would recommend Fire Bringer for anyone who lovs to get sucked into a book so you feel as if you're one with the Herla(deer) cantering through the heather, munching on the grass, and stampeding into battle. Clement-Davies writes with so much power and detail it's almost overwhelming. I hope you will love this book as much as I did.
