Chapter 1:
Night Of The Tiger
'Look out, look out,' cried Johnny, 'it's going to jump!'
'Run,' shouted Diana to her younger brother, 'make for that tree over there.'The children ran as fast as their young legs would carry them, but it was difficult running through the long, tufty grass that seemed to stick to their legs. Suddenly a branch sprang out at Johnny, ripping his T-shirt and brushing his forehead, but it didn't stop him from running towards the tree, and hopefully to safety. Yet no matter how fast they ran, the sound of pounding footsteps behind them grew louder and louder, closer and ever closer, until they could feel the creature's hot breath on their necks like a whisper in the warm breeze.
'Aaagh,' screamed Diana, as she fell heavily to the ground.
'Quick, get up,' shouted Johnny. 'Come on, Diana. Can you still run?'
'Oh leave me, Johnny. I think I've twisted my ankle. Just hurry up and save yourself.'
'I'm not going without you. Here, grab hold of my hand.'
But it was too late, much too late. As Johnny bent down to help his sister, he looked up and saw the huge figure of a tiger just waiting to pounce. It was a mass of colour: white, orange and black, with enormous, white teeth, which sparkled ferociously in the midday sun. As Johnny stared into the eyes of this savage beast, it crouched down low, arching its long back as if preparing to jump. Then the tiger sniffed the warm air and licked all around its gaping mouth, before leaping onto them both, blocking out the light of the sun like a total eclipse.
'No, no,' bawled Johnny. 'No, no.'
Wow, isn't it exciting? But I can't tell you any more because I don't want to spoil it for you.
Now here's the really good news. The Sword Of Davalon is only £5.99, and postage and packaging is only £1.00 - making a total of just £6.99. What a bargain. And there are 224 pages. We think it's a great deal. And you get a great story that leads to the second book in the Davalon series – 'The Trek Of The Rainbow Warriors'. There are seven books in the series. We are hoping to publish the second book in the near future – details will appear on this website.
