Martin Rivers is a young knight seeking his fortune across an alternate medieval Europe where Rome fell because the magic of the Caesars failed, but sorcery and the supernatural are very much alive. Join him as he battles an undead knight returned from Hell to take revenge, enters Faerie seeking the lost sword of Richard the Lion-hearted, and slips into the harem of a mad Turkish warlord to steal the Holy Grail. Selden is a fencing master and occasional mercenary in Balathex, the Whispering City, where duels are an everyday occurrence and intrigue is a way of life. Walk with him as he hunts a deadly creature of living fire, investigates a baffling murder, probes the riddle of a rival fencing teacher whose students never lose, and challenges the master of a sinister mirror world. Richard Lee Byers is the acclaimed author of Dissolution, the Haunted Lands trilogy, the Year of Rogue Dragons trilogy, the Brotherhood of the Griffon series, and other novels set in the Forgotten Realms. The Plague Knight and Other Stories collects his heroic fantasy stories set in worlds of his own creation.
