Synopsis ~

Banished through treachery from the court of the legendary Charlemagne, Houn of Bordeaux must fulfill an almost impossible quest in Babylon, held by Charlemagne’s bitter enemies. For Houn, in defending his fallen brother had killed Charlot, the king’s beloved son. And Charlemagne’s wrath could not be appeased. Now Houn, surrounded by his brave and virtuous knights, had set off on this perilous journey – into the bewitched fairy wood ruled by Oberon the elfin king whose magical gifts could save Houn’s life. Into the jaws of the deadly giant Angalafar, whose strangely powerful chain mail could keep Houn from harm. And into the arms of Lady Claramonde, whose great love for Houn knew no bounds.
