À propos de l'auteur

Peter Ward was born in 1958 and grew up in different places all over the Far East, England and Germany. He has had a peripatetic career: before graduating from Leeds University with a degree in English, he earned his living as a swimming-pool attendant, hod carrier, joiner's mate, canteen assistant on a North Sea oil-rig, plumber's merchant store-picker in the US, van-driver, painter and decorator, antiques dealer and sales room assistant at Sotheby's in Bond Street. After graduating he worked in the media and communications industry and in the property services. He is now self-employed. He lives with his wife, daughter and two sons in Putney, south-west London.

Dragon Horse is his first novel.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'The sleeping dragon awakes!'

Aeons ago, winged dragons spread terror across the Chinese empire. Their descendants, magnificent horses bred and ridden by the Wild Horsemen, are known as dragon horses.

But now an ancient evil is stirring - and two brothers, Rokshan and An Lushan, are about to be drawn into battle. Rokshan must travel to the Valleys of the Horsemen - and on to the Plain of the Dead where the great stallion Stargazer, lord of the horses, is waiting for him.

While his brother, An Lushan, chooses a different path entirely . . .

Rich, vibrant and full of the myths of old Imperial China.
