The Romance of Tristan and Iseult is a tale of chivalry and doomed, transcendent love. This story is one of the most resonant works of Western literature and the basis for our enduring idea of romance.

The story of the Cornish knight and the Irish princess who meet by deception, fall in love by magic, and pursue that love in defiance of heavenly and earthly law, has inspired artists from Matthew Arnold to Richard Wagner. But nowhere has it been retold with greater eloquence and dignity than in Joseph Bédier’s edition, which weaves several medieval sources into a seamless whole, elegantly translated by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld.

Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making.

Hadrian Blackwater, a warrior with nothing to fight for, is paired with Royce Melborn, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Hired by an old wizard, they must steal a treasure that no one can reach.

The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm’s most prized possessions. But it isn’t gold or jewels that the wizard is after, and if he can just keep them from killing each other, they just might succeed.

Suor Teodora narrates the story of Agilulfo, a knight without a body, whose only presence is his shining armor. During the siege of Paris by Charlemagne, Agilulfo, after covering himself with glory, embarks on a quest to find Sofronia, a maiden he saved fifteen years earlier.

Accompanied by his squire, Gurdulù, Agilulfo encounters numerous adventures and is pursued by the warrior Bradamante, who is in love with him. He eventually finds Sofronia, but believing her tainted by grave sins, decides to vanish.

Agilulfo removes his armor and passes it to Rambaldo, a young comrade-in-arms. Now, it is Rambaldo who will continue the deeds of the bodiless knight, clad in the white armor.

Enemy of God is a masterful retelling of the Arthurian legend. The balance of King Arthur's unified kingdom is threatened by Merlin's quest for the last of Britain's 13 Treasures. This quest is set against the backdrop of the conflict between the ancient religion and the new Christianity, and Britain's ongoing war with the Saxons.

Bernard Cornwell, a master storyteller, continues to weave a tale where myth and history blend seamlessly. Arthur, a man battling for his vision of the future in a brutal age, is surrounded by intrigue and dependent on his skill at war and genius for leadership. Can Arthur hold back the Saxons threatening the country, or will those closest to him be moved to betray him?

Join Merlin on his divisive quest and dive into an epic saga filled with thrilling battlefield action and legendary quests. Enemy of God brilliantly combines myth, history, and adventure to bring Arthur and his world to vivid life.

Louis L'Amour has been best known for his ability to capture the spirit and drama of the authentic American West. Now he guides his readers to an even more distant frontier—the enthralling lands of the twelfth century.

Warrior, lover, and scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous challenge, danger, and revenge.
