Based on a legend of Prince Alexander whose father was murdered by his brother, the King March of Cornwall, and Alice, daugher of Duke Alisarus, famous for his pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Tours, set in the historical dark age and the age of Alexander of Stewart's previous novels. This one felt less connected to the history and physical time and space and more fairytale-like. Very easy to read but rather forgettable. (  ) mari_reads | May 30, 2009 |  Retelling of an episode in Malory's Arthurian cycle reset from Middle to Dark Ages and interlaced with history. The legend is a romance between the dispossessed nephew of King Mark of Cornwall and a young heiress captivated by his knightly prowess. The tale told here is charming and entertaining.
