"a fantastic series of books"

In the last story of this series, A BARD'S PROPHECY: SONG OF THE BEAR IV, Shelby Morgen takes us back to the ship again. The warriors are once again plotting on how they will rescue Clan Bear. Elandine is furious. He can't believe Tranorva is actually expecting to walk in the front gates at Elahandara! He just knows she will die. In his anger, he decides to shift. He takes on the form of the dragon and makes the ship fly across the water toward City of Port.

Meanwhile in City of Port, Braunnan has taken charge of the men of Clan Bear. She has organized them and has them all working now.

When the ship finally arrives at City of Port, Tranorva is met by an army of Clan Bear. Well, that blows her battle plans. Her grandmother, Ayailla, will go in the tunnels, along with a small group. They will rescue Clan Bear from the mines. Meanwhile, Tranorva will lead the army to the very gates of Elahandara.

How does the final battle play out? Who will win and who will lose? Which of them won't make it? And where do the dragons fit in all this? How will they react?

Shelby Morgen has done an outstanding job with THE SONG OF THE BEAR: NORTHLANDERS II! This is a fantastic series of books, filled with all my favorite things in one series, from the Sidhe to shamen, shapeshifting, dwarves, trolls and orcs, this series has it all! It's also a highly erotic series of finding true love, the kind that lasts beyond forever. We get the unique opportunity of traveling to a land, far in our future, where magic is commonplace and shapeshifting is expected. We've already met Clan Wolf and Clan Bear, I can't wait to meet Clan Falcon! I highly recommend this series to all lovers of erotic fantasy.

A Bard's Prophecy is the conclusion to The Song of The Bear series and is not meant to be read as a stand alone novella.

Summary

Come to me, my people,
At the water's edge.
Come to me, my Warriors.
Let the blood flow.
Come to me, my children.
Let us cleanse the Earth.
Let us sing the Song of The Bear.

General Tranorva. No Warrior can stand against her blade.

Lady Ayailla. No Sorceress has ever defeated her with magic.

Two powerful leaders gather their forces—and their loved ones—for the final assault on the Evil that holds Clan Bear enslaved within the mines of the Élandra. The prophecy has come full circle.

Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, whatsoever he saith shall come to pass.

Take no prisoners. Leave no one behind. Élahandara must fall.
