About This Book

A wandering knight and his squire come upon a ruined lakeshore where a beautiful young woman is held captive by chains and a ring of emeralds; she warns that a powerful spirit seeks to force her into marriage. He takes a magic ring that can transform him into a falcon and faces the spirit as it attacks in ever-changing monstrous guises—dragon, griffin, unicorn, rat—testing his endurance and skill. The tale follows the escalating, shape-shifting conflict and the interplay of enchantment and chivalric courage as the knight struggles to break the spell and free the imprisoned woman.
