Exit the King
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
From the cover: This is a highly stylized, ritualistic death rite, depicting the final hours of the once-great Berenger I. In his throne room, surrounded by his two wives and a few other members of the decayed court, Berenger inexorably moves toward his death, first discovering, then rejecting, and finally accepting its inevitability. As the monarch dies, his kingdom dies with him.
