The Black Chalice

Fresh from the horrors of the Crusades, the young knight Karelian of Lys returns to his 12th-century German home, his faith in God and humankind eroded. After falling in love with a half-human witch queen, Karelian faces a man who claims to be a direct descendant of Christ, and thus king of Earth. The ensuing struggles between duty and passion, between his faith in his country and in God, push Karelian to the limits of the mind and body. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
