In the ancient island kingdom of Lyonesse, a queen's coronation gives way to gathering storm, terror, and world-cataclysm, in a sweeping romance of empire, madness, and doom.

Roger Pocock's 1910 novel is an atmospheric fantasy-romance of an imagined realm. Vivid, sweeping, of its era. Read it for an ambitious Edwardian tale of a mythical island empire and its queen, moving through coronation, catastrophe, and the dawn of terror, in a colorful, melodramatic romance of thrones and tempests.
