When magic reigned, and kings were strong...
South of Eire and west of Gallia lay the land of the Elder Isles—a mystical place inhabited by fairies, valiant knights, and the powerful magic of living and forgotten sorcerers.
Now, as Aillas of Troisinet and Casmir of Lyonesse engage in a duel of wits, the mysterious aura of the Green Pearl invisibly permeates their souls. Its influence is subtle yet powerful, and when the Elder Kings take up their swords, even the worlds of the immortal fairies will tremble...
Meanwhile, the evil King Casmir is unable to control Princess Meduk, a wild and wayward changeling who secretly replaced Prince Dhrune, the rightful heir to the throne, at birth. Therefore, Casmir announces a contest: whoever brings him the Holy Grail will receive Meduk as his bride. But the fairy-born princess wants to decide her own destiny and, together with a stable boy, sets out in search of the Grail. Meanwhile, an evil wizard attempts to break the spell preventing the war-ravaged Elder Isles from sinking into the sea.
Jack Vance creates a story of war and politics, magic and daring deeds, in the inimitable style that has made him one of the recognized masters of fantasy.
