England, second half of the 16th century. Religious passions and other feuds with Scotland continue to rage on the island. The children of "blue-bearded" Henry VIII Tudor, who once desired to wipe Edinburgh off the face of the earth, are at a loss as to what to do next. The English throne, like a pawn, moves from corner to corner, from heir to heir: Edward, Mary, Elizabeth. When the ground burns beneath your feet and your head spins, there's no better place than a quiet monastery. The English knight Sir Piercie Shafton arrives at a remote Scottish monastery. This dashing mustachioed man's goal is as simple as a blade in its sheath or a diamond in its case—he must lie low for a while. But fate, the villain, has a million slingshots and twists in store for him. And what slingshots! Well, old Piercie, hold on!
The latest volume of Masters of Adventure includes Walter Scott's twisty and multi-plot novel, The Monastery—a book in which the great Scotsman allowed himself the unheard-of audacity of blending realism with mysticism, history with fantasy. Without any concessions or half-tones. The edition contains 150 original illustrations by masters of vintage book illustration.
