Geoffrey Gallowglass, the Lord High Warlock’s second son, has only two passions in life: war and women. As a knight-errant, he roams the Kingdom of Gramarye looking for wrongs to right and women to woo... but no one has held his interest for very long.
Until he meets Quicksilver, a fiery warrior woman as beautiful as she is deadly, with a tongue as sharp as her sword. Has Geoffrey finally found his perfect woman?
There’s only one problem: Quicksilver is the bandit chieftain who has conquered her lord’s land and castle, and Geoffrey is the Royal Knight sent to defeat and capture her.
Is love hopeless? Or can Geoffrey find some way face her before an altar, not an army?
Christopher Stasheff (1944 – 2018) spent his early childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, but spent the rest of his formative years in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compromise by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. He tended to prescript his life, but couldn’t understand why other people never get their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He seeks refuge in fantasy worlds of his own making, and hopes you enjoy them as much as he does.
Christopher died in 2018 from Parkinson’s Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.
