Lyonesse is a monument to fantasy literature, standing next to such works as Dune and The Lord of the Rings. The events of the trilogy take place on the Ancient Isles, the land of pre-Arthurian myths, now completely disappeared in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Powerful wizards and indifferent fairies, unshakable warriors and noble eccentrics, generosity and cruelty, intrigue and persecution, love and hatred, everything is mixed on its pages. In the first book, The Garden of Suldrun, Prince Aill of Troicine is betrayed during his first diplomatic mission; he is thrown into the sea. On the island of Hybras he will have to be a captive, a tramp and a slave, meet fairies, wizards and wandering knights, and fall in love with a beautiful sad girl who hates her tyrant father, King Lioness.
