Since boyhood, he hasn't dared leave his isolated holdings - not to beg the return of his father's lost estate, not to seek brotherhood among the court, not even to win the knighthood he yearns for. But when a new king ascends, Bisclavret must deliver his kiss of fealty or answer for the failure.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHalf an exile himself, the young king is intrigued by this uneasy, rough-hewn nobleman. Bisclavret seems a perfect knight: bold, strong, and merciful. But he keeps his secrets close, and the king's longings are not for counsel alone. As his fascination grows, the barriers between them multiply, until one day Bisclavret vanishes beyond reach. Battling desperation and grief, the king stands alone to face the greatest threats to his kingdom, with only duty to his people between him and ruin - duty, and the steadfast loyalty of the strangest wolf . . .\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteeped in the texture of its source material \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eand rendered with a precision of language \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ethat feels intimate and timeless, \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eand His King\u003c\/i\u003e will transport you to a fireside \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e- unmissable for fans of Samantha \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eShannon and Madeline Miller.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46449880891550,"sku":"ADS-9781399621007","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781399621007.jpg?v=1769572683","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781399621007","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
