Thirteen otherworldly tales based on myths, legends, and practices from the Early Middle Ages, culled from regions spanning central Europe to the near Orient. Princesses coming of age were, at the time, shut away in high towers to protect royal bloodline should their daughter lay with someone of lower status. Such is the premise of the story “Bleeder.” “The King’s Master” beckons an early custom where royalty and peasants exchanged stations to trick the gods while “An Impeccable Distraction” explores the real world custom of marrying a member of the royal family to beasts. You will find tricksters among consuls and wizards, and petty politics among rulers. Big questions of power, class, authority, superstition, belief, gender roles, and related issues ebb and flow, but are never resolved. I hope for this and other reasons that the stories are timeless, and I thank you for your interest.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Bryan Lindenberger enjoyed fantasy fiction as a child, andthat interest evolved into a passion for Early Middle Ages customs and beliefs.While many of those practices are represented here, his literary influencesrange from Jorge Luis Borges to Ernest Hemingway. He has had over 300 featureand fiction stories published and works as a writer in grant research, marketing,and content development for higher education.

From the Back Cover

Once upon a time...

Young women married crocodiles to ally with the animal kingdom. Kings exchangedplaces with peasants to fool the gods, and trickster wizards served as consulsduring war.

In these 13 tales of myth, magic, and deceit, you will find clay gladiatorsbrought to life, a sylvan witch banished as she attempts to heal her city,and a warrior facing three trials culled from legends of the MiddleAges. Based on actual practices of the times, Legends 13 is a dark,heroic, and mystical look at a time when hard reality, magic, and superstitionwere often intertwined.
