England, second half of the sixteenth century. Religious passions and other disputes with Scotland continue to rage on the island. The children of "blue-bearded" Henry VIII Tudor, who once wished to wipe Edinburgh off the face of the earth, do not know what to do next. The English throne, like a pawn, moves from corner to corner, from heir to heir: Edward, Mary, Elizabeth. When the earth is burning under your feet and your head is spinning, there is no better place than a quiet monastery. An English knight, Sir Piercy Shafton, arrives in a remote Scottish monastery. The purpose of this brave mustachioed man is as simple as a blade in a scabbard or a diamond in a case - he needs to lay low for a while. But the villainous fate is preparing him a million slingshots and squiggles. And what a lot of them! Well, old Piercy, hold on!
The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" includes dashingly twisted and multisyllabic novel Walter Scott's "The Cloister" - a book in which the great Scotsman allowed himself unheard of audacity - to mix realism with mysticism, history with fantasy. Without any discounts or halftones. The edition contains one hundred and fifty original illustrations from the maestros of ancient book graphics.
