The Iron Tempest
I recently revised my fantasy adventure, "Bradamant," as "The Iron Tempest" for release as an ebook from Baen.
It is based loosely on the great 16th century epic poem, "Orlando Furioso," and tells of the trials and tribulations of Lady Bradamant, one of Charlemagne's most formidable paladins, a fabulous woman knight who must face almost insurmountable odds in her quest for a love forbidden by her emperor, her family and her god. Odds that include such impediments as sorcerers and sorceresses, giants and hippogryphs, treachery and madness---all to say nothing of entire armies that have the misfortune of standing between Lady Bradamant and her heart's desire...even if she is not entirely sure what that desire really is.
The book is profusely illustrated by myself and also includes a special appendix.
An award-winning 16-hour-long dramatic audio adaptation of this book was created in 2001. I hope to get this online in the near future.
