Description
<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>
Story Behind The Book
Raised by Opera Singers, Mistress Erminegard's hyper-sensitivity to sound is what makes her a consummate dominatrix; it is also her most powerful crime fighting tool:
"Sounds.The mere raising of the hand was audible—as was its descent, even before the sound of impact with its intended target. Implements, of course, made their own very special sounds, even when merely striking at the air. And whipping the air proximate to the exposed flesh of a restrained submissive generally sent him into choruses of repent. And the inevitable moans of ecstasy."
Sounds will lead her straight to the serial killer.
