This is how, three decades later, on his superiors' order, Paul von Ardiun, began in his monk's cell to write the chronicle of Karelian Brandeis. For only he, who was the squire of the Count of Lys, can tell what really happened in Car-Iduna, the castle of the Lady of the Mountain, which no one can find except those she invites in, and everything that ensues after this visit, that is, betrayal, war and the deaths of princes... Paul has since become a man of God, and he wants his tale to always honour the name of the Lord. But his quill has a will of its own : it has been bewitched by the Lady of Car-Iduna and, against his will, tormented by doubts and shame, Paul is writing a haunting tale of sex and sorcery ! |
