About This Book
An aging chivalric realm confronts the aftermath of a celebrated redeemer as a loose fellowship of lords, skeptics, and schemers struggle over belief, power, and legacy. Through linked episodes and satirical set-pieces, the narrative chronicles political maneuvering, romantic entanglements, legal and economic disputes, and contested miracles, while probing how myth and self-interest reshape communal life. Tone shifts between irony and reverence as characters accept, repudiate, or exploit the redeemer's legend, leading to transformations in social order and personal fortunes and to reflections on faith, hypocrisy, and the costs of idealism.
