Epic journey through a vivid historical tapestry.
If you have a craving for adventure, "The Walking Drum" will sate that with its sweeping narrative set in a time far removed from our own. Louis L'Amour transports you to the 12th century with a richness of detail that makes the era come alive. The protagonist, Kerbouchard, is not just a figure moving through historical set pieces, but a fully formed character on a quest that's as much about knowledge and personal growth as it is about physical challenges. It's a read that breaks the boundaries of genre, bringing the past to life with the same fervor L'Amour brought to the American West.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description
Louis L’Amour has been best known for his ability to capture the spirit and drama of the authentic American West. Now he guides his readers to an even more distant frontier—the enthralling lands of the twelfth century. Warrior, lover, and scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous challenge, danger, and revenge. Across Europe, over the Russian steppes, and through the Byzantine wonders of Constantinople, Kerbouchard is thrust into the treacheries, passions, violence, and dazzling wonders of a magnificent time. From castle to slave galley, from sword-racked battlefields to a princess’s secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable fortress of the Valley of Assassins, The Walking Drum is a powerful adventure in an ancient world that you will find every bit as riveting as Louis L’Amour’s stories of the American West.
