In the alternate Earth called Nova Europa, two countries have fought a great battle over the future of that world. But now the King of Kórynthia seems to be going mad: some evil mage is eating away at the very fabric of the the state. The King's heir, Prince Arkády, must rally the forces of good to push back the darkness--and if he fails, then Nova Europa will experience only chaos, calamity, and death! Dr. Michael R. Collings says: "Within the course of a single year, Kings and Kingdoms rise and fall, hopes and ambitions are fulfilled and destroyed. Robert Reginald's The Hieromonk's Tale trilogy is a magnificent medieval triptych featuring exquisitely drawn scenes of heroism and treachery, of domesticity and warfare, of greatness and madness."
