<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Combining the historical detail of "Sarum" with the spellbinding narrative of "The Other Boleyn Girl," Galland has created a captivating debut tale of loyalty, politics, love, and betrayal set in the wilds of 12th-century Wales.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Wales, 1198. A time of treachery, passion, and uncertainty. King Maelgwyn ap Cadwallon, known as Noble, struggles to protect his small kingdom from foes outside and inside his borders. Pressured into a marriage of political convenience, he takes as his bride the young, headstrong Isabel Mortimer, niece of his powerful English nemesis.</p><p>Through strength of character, Isabel wins her husband's grudging respect, but finds the Welsh court backward and barbaric, and is soon engaged in a battle of wills against Gwirion, the king's oldest, oddest, and most trusted friend. Before long, however, Gwirion and Isabel's mutual animosity is abruptly transformed, and the king finds himself as threatened by loved ones as by the enemies who menace his crown.</p><p>A masterful novel by a gifted storyteller, <em>The Fool's Tale</em> combines vivid historical fiction, compelling political intrigue, and passionate romance to create an intimate drama of three individuals bound -- and undone -- by love and loyalty.</p>
