The Breathing Wheel - Softcover

Wicked old Gronwolfe is a twisted old soul with nothing more than vengeful havoc on his mind. Thankfully, this vibrant first work of fantasy fiction by author, Anthony Ravenwood, breathes life into Jacob Gwytherin and Martha Isaf of Aden-Long Mill, childhood sweethearts and the hopeful heroes of the piece. Don't be fooled by the description of it being set in a sleepy Welsh valley. Deep in those beautiful mountains you'll find spectacular dryads and gryphons and sinister spirits and hags. Follow a fast-paced quest with a cast of mystical characters who find themselves embroiled in an evil curse destined to destroy the village and kill everyone in its wake. With time ticking and the pressure on, only a miracle could restore peace and return the stolen souls. Will love be enough to fuel the quest? Immerse yourself fully in the author's vision of the legend by reading the book and listening to the soundtrack. An esoteric body of music written and performed by the author; you'll almost feel the characters breathing through the notes themselves.

With an interest in music and drama Ant made a film in 1989 with friends from the amateur dramatics group he belonged to, using his own songs and script. During the years that followed, he became actively involved in music, often the lyric writer and musical director, performing with bands locally. In 1999 he co-wrote a musical and performed it with the same drama group. More recently, Ant has been working with a semi-professional tribute band as lead vocalist, and is one half of the highly acclaimed alternative pop duo '2 of a Kind'.
