(4.06) | 12 | Alfred of St. Ruan's Abbey is a monk and a scholar, a religious man whose vocation is beyond question. But Alfred is also, without a doubt, one of the fair folk, for though he is more than seventy years old by the Abbey's records, he seems to be only a youth. But Alfred is drawn from the haven of his monastery into his dangerous currents of politics when an ambassador from the kingdom of Rhiyana to Richard Coeur de Leon is wounded and Alfred himself is sent to complete the mission.

Quis est homo?
Mancipium mortis, transiens viator, loci hospes
--Alcuin of York
 What is a man?
The slave of death, the guest of an inn, a wayfarer passing.
--Helen Wadell The Golden Horn
O City, City, jewel of all cities, famed in tales throughout the world, leader of faith, guide of orthodoxy, protector of learning, abode of all good! Thou hast drunk to the dregs the cup of the anger of the Lord, and has been visited with fire fiercer than that which in ancient days descended upon the Five Cities ...
--Nicetas Choniates The Golden Horn
...and therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium
--W. B. Yeats The Hounds of God
He knows distinction in three abstractions of sound,
the women's cry under the thong of Lupercal,
the Pope's voice singing the Glory on Lateran,
the howl of a wolf in the Coast of Broceliande.
--Charles Williams,
Taliessin Through Logres | |

Brother Alf! The Golden Horn
Rain and sun and thirty years' neglect had faded the tiles of the courtyard and softened the curves of the marble dolphin in the center. The Hounds of God
The fire had gone out some time since. | |

A foundling, he has lived at St. Ruan's all his life. And as all his friends and peers age and become men, he stays a youth. As such, he is kept a secret of the abbey, protected from the Church and the rest of the world.
A beautifully written set of historical novels featuring kings and intrigues and knights and ladies and monks. It just happens to surround an idea of elves and magic. (
