'What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed.' Tristan's Folly is the stunning sequel to the acclaimed Kings and Daemons, and the second in The Gifted and the Cursed trilogy. ----- Tristan's Folly. An ageing fortress built over fifty years ago to repel the invading hordes of the Witch-King, Daleth, an invasion that never materialised - until now. Now the stronghold is a crumbling reflection of its former might, with a mere fifteen hundred men all that stand between Daleth's savage horde of a hundred thousand, and certain doom. As Kings and Daemons face one another, there is but one shining light that pushes back the encroaching darkness, but even her flame is slated to be extinguished thanks to Tristan's Folly. ----- In this epic tale of a battle against the odds, the best and worst of humankind collide ... sacrifice, bravery and love, set against betrayal, greed and hatred .----- Tristan's Folly is a Dark Fantasy with a light romance to offset the darkness, set in a dystopian world where those who are gifted by the gods with one hand, are cursed with the other. ----- Some quotes about Tristan's Folly from readers/reviewers Comparable with David Gemmell's Legend I think the storyline Lee gave Kalas is GENIUS Thrilling and relentless
