Hail and snow (2 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Rumon, descendant of Charlemagne and of King Alfred, was a searcher. He had visions of the Islands of the Blessed, perhaps King Arthur's Avalon "where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow," Rumon came from Provence to visit the court of his cousin, King Edgar, and so began a quest that was to last his whole life, take him to far places, bring him sorrow, joy, privation, and honor. Merewyn grew up in savage Cornwall- a lonely girl, sustained by stubborn courage and by pride in her descent from great King Arthur. Chance- or fate- in the form of a shipwreck off the Cornish coast brought Rumon and Merewyn together and from that hour their lives were intertwined.

Freed by the revelation of Alfrida's murderous actions, Rumon finally turned to Merewyn, only to find that he had lost her. His search led him across the Atlantic to an unknown land, to disappointment, and at last to fulfillment and peace. here falls not hail, or rain, or any snow," Rumon came from Provence to visit the court of his cousin, King Edgar, and so began a quest that was to last his whole life, take him to far places, bring him sorrow, joy, privation, and honor.
