Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 419 pages. Text edge lightly foxedFrom a masterly new talent: a rich historical fantasy that is at once a compelling family sa ga and an allegorical tale of power and the corruption of love. In lonely exile in a remote peasant village, Reyhnard, third son of the murderous tyrant Basal of Brychmachrye, writes down the st ory of his past life as prince and king. It is a tale that bustle s with all the glittering, fervent life of a feudal court?and the tale of a royal family doomed by the lust for power and by the i nescapable burdens power imposes: of a king who has usurped the t hrone by means of murder and marriage; of the king's mistress, wh o exploits her beauty and sexuality for dynastic ends; of the nar rator's sister?and his beloved; and, above all, of the narrator h imself?poet and, eventually, king. A brilliantly realized portra yal of an imaginary kingdom. A Mirror for Princes is also an impa ssioned exploration of any world where power is all, where love a nd trust are inevitably betrayed.
