One African leader and four lovers are all that stand between the future of South Africa and the dragon Negwenya, mother of all lightning birds.
Their destiny became the destiny of a nation -- a continent, a world. The fates that ruled them rule us even now.
RITE OF THE DRAGON combines the sweep and passion of James Michener's THE COVENANT with the bone-chilling terror of Stephen King's SALEM'S LOT and FIRESTARTER.
"Robust action and tension and passion amidst South African revolutionary political intrigue."
-- Alex Haley, author of ROOTS
