Knight's Wyrd

by Debra Doyle, James D. Macdonald Narrated by Aaron Shedlock

Overview

Ahead of its time on its original publication, Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald's award-winning dark medieval fantasy Knight's Wyrd is perfect for contemporary tastes.



On the eve of his knighting, Will Odosson learns his wyrd, or destiny: He shall meet death before a year has passed. Will rushes north to release his betrothed from their engagement, but on the way he is beset by all manner of horrors-a man-eating troll, carnivorous mermaids, a magic-working dragon . . . and something far worse: an evil unlike anything Will ever imagined.



Knight's Wyrd is an award-winning gem that will appeal to fans of books like Hild and Spear, and films like The Green Knight--a medieval fantasy with the authentic lived-in strangeness of the real Middle Ages. It was originally published by a pair of YA imprints, but it works equally well as an adult novel.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Doyle and Macdonald got as close to what delighted our medieval ancestors as a contemporary person can, giving us a tale that might have been shared on snowy winters’ evenings during the time when jousting and tourneys were still being fought. Questions of honor and meaning, friendship and enmity, horror and awe, and of course laughter, entertained people a millennium ago, as they do now. Knight’s Wyrd shimmers with emotional complexity and liminal engagement with the numinous, evoking the mindset of a thousand years ago in a way that I find essential for a medieval story." —Sherwood Smith

“A complex, beautifully structured medieval wonder tale” —Lilith Saintcrow, New York Times bestselling author
