KNIGHTS OF DARK RENOWN

A sword and sorcery romance follows LEGEND, an international bestseller. After the gallant Knights of Gabala disappear into a hellish vortex, the world they protected falls prey to numerous evils. An unlikely trio--a bard, a runaway slave, and a tainted knight--set out to save it. The plot may be less than original, but the characters and details are surprisingly rich. In mellifluous phrases, British actor Christopher Kay imbues the narrative with a kind of fairy tale dignity, as if reciting Mallory or Chretien de Troyes to precocious children.
