Richard's Revenge: An Adventure Story with Some Philosophical Poems

This is an adventure story. It is about Richard who is forced to flee from his country because he is accused of a murder that he did not commit. The corrupt government disliked him because he spoke out against injustice. He travels across the great forest to a neighboring country. Here, in the forest, he meets up with a young lady called Anna who has run away from her tyrannical father. They are joined by an older man called Mithra who has some magical powers. Richard finds a mystical sword in a cave in the forest. The three travellers journey on to make a new life for themselves. But Richard is troubled by dreams that tell him that he must return to his country with Mithra, his best friend Michael and his special sword to fight the corrupt government there. In the second part of the book are some poems by Anna that reflect her beliefs.
