Description
Reinmar of Bielawa, sometimes known as Reynevan, is a doctor, a magician and, according to some, a charlatan. After being discovered in bed with the wife of a high-born knight, he must flee his ordinary life, embarking on journeys through a part of Europe soon to be overtaken by chaos. Religious tensions between Hussite and Catholic countries threaten to erupt into war. Pursued by the vengeful Stercza brothers and the Holy Inquisition, while strange mystical forces gather in the shadows, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools. The tower is an asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. Its patients include a gallery of colourful figures, among them the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of his heliocentric solar system. Reynevan must escape the tower and avoid being drawn into the conflict without losing his own mind. This is the first volume in Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic trilogy set during the Hussite Wars, translated by David French, who worked with Sapkowski on six Witcher books.
