Iron Man

August 1469. After the Hundred Years' War, the English have settled down, but the new French king Louis XI of the Valois dynasty has not. By cunning and betrayal, he tries to acquire more and more surrounding lands for France, extending his spider web to the shores of the English Channel. At the same time, on the maritime border with England, in the freedom-loving Brittany, a strange German knight appears, clad in steel from head to toe. His any appearance in public provokes irrational fear and trepidation. He never removes his helmet. Rumors say that under it lies not a face, but a skeleton skull. The paths of these two will cross one day. So, spider or skeleton — who will win?

In the next volume of Paul Féval's works comes "Iron Man," the second novel in the duology "Legends of Mont-Saint-Michel." Readers will meet with some (of those who survived and have aged slightly) heroes from "The Fairy Dunes." The novel is infused with medieval mysticism and amazing Breton color—mischievous, sad, and mysterious. Folk festivities and tournaments, dwarfs and giants, shattered shields and hearts. Published in Russian for the first time.
