Description

Leaflings ...A wonderful trilogy tale about the tiny leafy stick-like creatures of the forest. In the medieval times when trolls and wizards still lurked near the cities of man, cozy castles and monasteries stood tall to war and treachery. From the creepy halls of Stone Castle, to the hidden caverns behind the rippling Mirare’ Falls, the Leaflings help mankind fight the many battles to save the inland city of Cobblestone…and the very simplistic lifestyle the Leaflings lead. Warriors, Castle Ravens, and kind-hearted monks all fight for Cobblestone…and for the Leafling realm of Tal Kator. Eerie and foreboding rhymes foretell much of Cobblestone’s future…and the cities of man and beast will be forced to endure the outcome of what was once written…once written in the Prophesy Rhymes of old. Welcome to the old city of Cobblestone. Pray along with the tender-hearted monk, Jon…and sing along with the sweetest of harmonies of young Gwendolyn of Cobblestone Castle. “Leaflings” is a wonderful time-machine ride through the medieval forest. Keep your sword handy….
