New Book, Wings in the Wind, Brings Hope to a World Embroiled in Seemingly Endless Conflict

MELBOURNE, Australia - Nov. 7, 2016 - PRLog -- Bard's Well Creations is pleased to announce the worldwide release of the breathtaking fantasy fiction work, Wings in the Wind: The Reign of the Mawh'eyri, by author Arthur David Bardswell, in both paperback and e-book.

In Wings in the Wind: The Reign of the Mawh'eyri, Arthur David Bardswell, author of The Poor Preachers: The Adventures of the First Lollards delivers to his audience another ambitious and captivating work.

Written in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Wings in the Wind targets readers in most ages and stages of life, from teens to the elderly, who enjoy skillfully crafted fiction.

Wings in the Wind is a wondrous tale of a race of large, beautiful, highly intelligent eagles (the "eyri", or Great Eagles) and their struggle to survive. It follows ThunderWing, a young warrior-eagle and champion among the Great Eagles who dwelt in the mountains of the fair and ancient land of Mawha. He embarks on a life journey that goes beyond his own ambitions and wishes to try and rescue not only his own tribe (the "Mawh'eyri") from self-destruction, but all the eyri winged peoples. In his quest he must fly over Mawharikhan, the almost-impossible peak of the Great Mountain, evade the great demon-storm that lives there, and thus win the title of WindLord. This accomplished, he would win the privilege of taking SilverSong, a beautiful eagle-maiden, as his nest-mate.

But the road to greatness is far more difficult and eventful than his proud heart anticipated. Only readers will know if he ultimately succeeds.

"In Wings in the Wind, I wanted to take readers on a journey with ThunderWing, through his hopes and his struggles, failures, and successes," says Bardswell. "Struggles with which we can all identify. But, like ThunderWing, we find hope as we spread our wings and soar like eagles, realize the potential that is in each of our hearts and lives, and catch the exhilaration and empowerment given by the Great Spirit Wind to carry us.

Can Eagles Dare where Men would Fear?"

In abridged form, Wings in the Wind won Bardswell an Editor's Choice award from a large international online writer's community, FaithWriters.com. That version was chosen to be part of a published set of inspirational short stories and articles.

One reviewer commented: "Oh wow! You have a whole novel here crammed into 750 words. Whoa! I was with you all the way through this. Extremely creative and original. I loved the 'matching names' and especially how closely this parallels to our own lives when we attempt things without His counsel. Excellent writing! This is definitely a favorite of mine this week!"

Wings in the Wind enjoys worldwide distribution through Ingram/Spring Arbor, the world's largest book distributor. PR and marketing will include a worldwide press release blast and a multi-platform push on social media.
