THE BLEAK AND EMPTY SEA

Sinopsis de THE BLEAK AND EMPTY SEA

When word comes to Camelot that Sir Tristram has died in Brittany of wounds suffered in a skirmish, and that his longtime mistress, La Belle Isolde, Queen of Cornwall, has subsequently died herself of a broken heart, Queen Guinevere and her trusted lady Rosemounde immediately suspect that there is more to the story of the lovers&rsquo, deaths than they are being told. It is up to Merlin and his faithful assistant, Gildas of Cornwall, to find the truth behind the myths and half-truths surrounding these untimely deaths. They take ship to Brittany to investigate, and find themselves stymied by the uncooperative attitudes of Tristram&rsquo,s close friend Kaherdin, lord of the city, his sister and Tristram&rsquo,s wife Isolde of the White Hands, and Brangwen, La Belle Isolde&rsquo,s faithful lady-in-waiting. The case is complicated by the facts that King Mark of Cornwall is Gildas&rsquo,s own liege lord, and that Duke Hoel, Lord of Brittany, is King Arthur&rsquo,s close ally and father of the lady Rosemounde, who urges Gildas to clear the name of her half-sister, Isolde of the White hands, whom gossip has implicated in Tristram&rsquo,s untimely death. By the time they are finally able to uncover the truth, Gildas and Merlin have lost one companion and are in danger of losing their own lives._,
