Dragon Song is a continuation of the story told in book 1, Pursuit. Pat Ferguson faces new challenges and explores new areas of consciousness. He begins to feel the power of the ring, given to him by his Aunt Gaby, and he learns more about its origin in new discoveries about Einarr.
In Pursuit it was Gaby, as a little girl, who discovered the story of Einarr, a young Irish warrior, and the pendant hidden in the back of an old book. This led to her encounters with Nimakin, a Keeper of the ring, pendant and the dragon secrets.
In Dragon Song there is mention of a sword, the Viking Ulfberht steel sword. This is an actual sword which has been found with a name inscribed onto the blade: +ULFBERH+T. It is thought to be a Frankish or German name where "+" in front of the name indicates the name of a Bishop or Abbot. It isn't known whose name it is. However, the reader is presented with a possible candidate in this book.
The Akashic Records are a compendium of mystical knowledge supposedly encoded in the non-physical plane of existence known as the astral plane. There is no scientific evidence of the Akashic records.
There is a quote mentioned in Dragon Song from the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are a collection of 981 texts discovered between 1946 and 1956 at Khirbet Qumran in the West Bank. They were found inside caves about a mile inland from the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name.
Dragon Song can be enjoyed on its own, but it is highly recommended to read Pursuit first for full appreciation of the characters and artefacts.
