'You will enter the city of Hart's Hope and the King's daughter will ride the Hart for you. But above all: you will not be safe upon the throne until King Nasilee and his daughter Asineth are dead.' The wizard's prophecy inspired Palicrovol to set forth to seek himself a kingdom. And win it. He killed the king: as the Hart he rode the Hind, Princess Asineth, a child of twelve. Ravished in full view of ten thousand eyes, Asineth's fury beat back at the shame that was thrust upon her. She swore to have vengeance upon the Hart who had spilled her blood and who, in his mercy and his foolishness, let her live. Asineth knew that justice could be cruel, and crueller yet necessity, but that mercy was the cruellest thing of all.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Enter the city of Hart's Hope, ruled by gods both powerful and indifferent, riddled with sorcery and revenge. The city was captured by a rebellious lord, Palicrovol, who overthrew the cruel king, Nasilee, hated by his people. Palicrovol, too, was cruel, as befitted a king. He took the true mantle of kinghood by forcing Asineth, now Queen by her father's death, to marry him, raping her to consummate the marriage. [But he was not cruel enough to rule.] He let her live after her humiliation; live to bear a daughter; live to return from exile and retake the throne of Hart's Hope. But she, in turn, sent Palicrovol into exile to breed a son who would, in the name of the God, take back the kingdom from its cruel Queen. Spine creased; foxing. 272 pages. Seller Inventory # 1570720
