More Description 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.
