A Search for the King: A Twelfth Century Legend

Synopsis

A seductive vampire, a wandering minstrel, a poetic ogre, a captive king. Legend and history mingle in this enchanting novel by one of today's outstanding writers. The troubadour Bondel's search for his friend and King, Richard of England, takes him through the forests and castles of the primitive Europe of nearly a thousand years ago, and his dangerous and diverting encounters with legendary monsters--and all-too-human lords and ladies--are the stuff of high adventure and memorable reading.
