Synopsis

Lyonesse is one of the ten kingdoms of the Edler Isles and Casmir, its ruthless and ambitious king, is at the centre of intrigue as their rulers contend for control. Casmirs beautiful but other-worldly daughter, Suldrun, is a key element in his plans: he intends to cement alliances by arranging a marriage. But Suldrun defies him. She is confined to her beloved garden, where she meets her love, and her tragedy unfolds. Lyonesse is a spellbinding fantasy masterpiece of eerie beauty, mystery and enchantment as intrigue, war, magic, adventure and romance are interwoven in a rich and sweeping tale set in a fabled land.
