Mei, a friend and fellow artist, arrives to offer her help. Roland and Mei used their newfound knowledge of magic to create a protective barrier around themselves.

Finally, they reached a clearing where a group of forest creatures awaited them. The creatures, sensing their desperation and fear, formed a protective circle around Roland and Mei, shielding them from the approaching hooded figures.

Reluctantly, they turned and disappeared back into the depths of the forest. Roland and Mei collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling with exhaustion and relief. They knew they had narrowly escaped a terrible fate, thanks to the intervention of the forest and its inhabitants. As they caught their breath, the forest creatures approached them, their eyes filled with curiosity and kindness.

Book excerpt: A master of literary transformation, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler turns his attention to the transformations of love in these three hypnotic novellas. • “No one alive writes better about yearning and heartbreak…. Before such mastery, a reader can do nothing but bow his head.” —The Washington Post Book World While ostensibly showing her home to a prospective buyer, the narrator of “Revenge” unfolds an origami-like narrative of betrayal and psychic violence. In “An Adventure of Don Juan” the legendary seducer seeks out new diversion on an English country estate with devastating results. And the title novella retells the story of Tristan and Ysolt from the agonized perspective of King Mark, a husband who compulsively looks for evidence of his wife’s adultery yet compulsively denies what he finds. Combining enchantment as ancient as Sheherezade’s with up-to-the-minute acuity and unease, The King in the Tree is Millhauser at his best.
