Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. It remains a singular, enduring artefact of its era-an authentic historical romance that invites reflection on love, duty, and the apocalyptic imagination. A thoughtful entry point for new readers and a cherished addition for library shelves.
