The Hound and the Falcon - Thryft

Timeless tale of faith, politics & otherworldliness.

The Hound and the Falcon is a riveting historical fiction novel that explores the tension between religious faith and the belief in otherworldly beings. The story follows Alfred, a monk and a scholar who finds himself caught in the dangerous political currents of his time, and grapples with his own identity as one of the fair folk. This book is a great read for readers who love a blend of historical events and fantasy elements, and are interested in exploring the complexities of faith and belief.

Description

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. There he encounters the Hounds of God, who believe that the fair folk have no souls, and must be purged from the Church and from the world.
