Lyonesse: Book 2. The Green Pearl. Madouc
38 hrs. 55 min.
In the distant past, when magic was all-powerful and kings were influential…
To the south of Eire and to the west of Gaul lay the Elder Islands—a mysterious place where fairies lived, brave knights roamed, and magic ruled both in the present and in bygone times.
At this moment, Eylas of Troisynette and Kazmir of Lionesse are caught in an intellectual confrontation shrouded in the mystical aura of the Green Pearl. Its influence is barely noticeable, but very significant. And when the kings of the Elder Islands draw their swords, even the immortal fairy worlds will tremble…
The evil ruler Kazmir is losing control over Princess Meduk, a willful changeling who was secretly swapped in place of Prince Dhruun, the rightful heir. Because of this, Kazmir declares that whoever finds the Holy Grail will receive Meduk’s hand. However, a princess born of fairies wants to decide her own fate and sets out to search for the Grail with the stablehand. Meanwhile, an evil mage tries to destroy the spell that keeps the Elder Islands from sinking into the sea abyss after the war.
Jack Vance presents a story of politics, magic, and bold deeds, carried out in his unique style that has won him fame as one of the great masters of fantasy.
A winner of the World Fantasy Award and the Gigamesh almanac prize.
