The Twins of Falconia

Beschreibung

Almost sixteen years: ago twin girls were born to the powerful witch Queen Katerina in the Castle of Falconia. One of the girls disappeared that day and the queen trusted she would never be heard of again. The present: Sir Philip Concord, a young knight, the nephew of King Regis of Concordia, is travelling on a trade mission for his uncle. On the way, he rescues the beautiful lost twin, Charlotte, from a ferocious monster and immediately becomes besotted. A week later, newly arrived in Falconia, he mistakes the other twin for Charlotte, betraying the fact that she is alive. A relentless pursuit of his beloved is begun as the queen and her daughter do their best to destroy Charlotte. Charlotte learns of their plans, and thus starts the quest to save her life. This exciting tale is full of strange creatures, from manticores to harpies, werewolves to goblins and more. There are human allies and foes, duels of men, fights with strange creatures and attacks of dark magic. But can only one twin survive, and if so, which one?

Autor

Peter initially was awarded a BA Degree in Psychology from University College Dublin. He felt drawn to Youth Work rather than Psychology and this led him to study for a qualification in Community Work in Maynooth University. He has over 35 years' experience of working with young people and their families in an effort to find solutions to emotional and behavioural difficulties which arise at home and at school and which may inhibit or prevent the young person in participating fully, or at all, in mainstream education. Peter initially worked as a Community Worker attached to a Special School in the North Inner City area of Dublin. Given his reservations regarding the individual model used in Education, when he began working with David Carter in Finglas, he trained as a Family Therapist, and subsequently also as a Systemic Supervisor. Peter is a registered psychotherapist with the Family Therapy Association of Ireland and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy. David Carter, B.Ed.

He has 34 years of experience working in this school setting, teaching, supervising, and providing programmes for and working with at-risk youth, young people with Severe Emotional Behavioural Difficulties and with their families. Since 1998 he moved into a management position as Principal/Director of St Paul's Youth Encounter Project, Finglas, Dublin 11 and is still there at present.
