In a richly imagined realm of Poictesme, a band of ten knights and lords once served under the enigmatic Dom Manuel, Count of Poictesme. Their fellowship is bound by the legend of a forthcoming Silver Stallion—a messianic figure destined to sweep away folly and restore true righteousness. The narrative opens with a playful blend of heraldic titles, whimsical language, and a hint of impending upheaval, setting a light‑hearted yet earnest tone.
As the story unfolds, the members of the Silver Stallion fellowship confront the “last siege” that threatens their lands and ideals. Through witty banter, eccentric rivalries, and a series of misadventures, they begin a quest that promises both comic mishaps and the possibility of redemption. Listeners will be drawn into a world where chivalry meets satire, and where the promise of a crystalline future hangs tantalizingly on the horizon.

1879–1958
Best known for the witty and once-controversial novel Jurgen, this Richmond-born writer brought fantasy, satire, and sharp social comedy together in a style that made him a standout voice of the early 20th century. Admired by literary contemporaries such as H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis, he wrote with elegance, irony, and a taste for the absurd.
