Summary
Details

This book outlines in detail the ancient dragon bloodline, going much further than his previous book, genesis of the grail kings, co-authored with sir laurence gardner. Where did the bloodline come from and what did it mean? Were those who carried it blessed with great powers? What influence did they have on the ancient world? Did elves, fairies and vampires really exist? If so, who were they? This extremely well-researched book reveals many mysteries from our past, including why the actual blood from this bloodline is so important, what kind of magic once existed and how it was lost.

Nonetheless, some people feel that there must be more to this idea of dragons than the mere shape and danger of a snake, because so many of the myths include details that go beyond the simple behavior of class reptilia, order squamata, and suborder serpentes. Close to 30 families of snakes are recognized in modern taxonomy, including 520 genera and more than 4,000 species. As many know, most are harmless, but plenty of snakes possess deadly venom.

As this suggests, even if most people are vaguely familiar with european dragons or chinese dragons, these mythical creatures have featured in mythology and legends in dozens of nations around the world, from north america and polynesia to africa and india. Roughly three dozen named dragons have been documented in europe, from albania and greece to france and spain, and from russia and poland to lithuania.
