Medieval professor continues novel series
?Peaceweaver,? the recently published second book in Rebecca Barnhouse?s historical-fantasy series aimed at young adult readers, picks up where her first book ended.
But although it?s a companion to ?The Coming of the Dragon,? the new novel stands alone. A reader needs no prior knowledge to understand or enjoy it.
Barnhouse is an English professor at Youngstown State University and an expert in medieval literature.
Like all of her books, ?Peaceweaver? is rooted in ancient literature ? ?Beowulf? in this case. Barnhouse creates characters and stories that fit into the framework created by the ancient poem.
