    Enriched edition. A Medieval Romance of Swordplay, a Hermit's Tutelage, and a Woodland Quest for Lady Helen, Love, Chivalry, and Coming of Age

    Beltane the Smith is a chivalric romance set in a fractured medieval realm, where a master of the anvil is thrust from his forge into a campaign of rescue, rebellion, and self-discovery. Farnol's prose adopts a deliberately archaic cadence—rich in "thees" and "whiloms"—yet moves with brisk theatrical momentum: ambuscades in the greenwood, sieges of strongholds, and courtly wooing alternate with ...
