bookfrogHere's a weird one: a tale of post-apocalyptic medieval Britain.
Luke is the son of a former commoner. His dad is a warrior for the prince of their city, who is selected by the Seers--religious figures who talk to "spirits" and declare what must be done.
This is an odd but strangely compelling novel.
Post-apocalyptic futures with hardly any women in them seem to be Christopher's favorite subject.
