Book excerpt: The king is dead, the child princess has been stolen away, and the court jester is left bleeding and drowning in the moat: Castle Acalathoy has been dealt a mortal blow. With the only heir to the throne taken in the night, the fate of the kingdom is sealed. The soldiers have been slaughtered, the knights laid waste, and there is no hero foolish enough to go after the princess.But Jester Lure has survived, and he will not be detoured.Against all odds, the fate of the princess lies in the hands of her personal jester, a peculiar man who hides more than his face under his mask. He has nothing left to lose and no intention of turning back. He, along with a small group of similarly unlikely companions- an apprentice who is merely an extension of his master and a knight driven only by guilt- must risk their lives in a hopeless journey across a dangerous land. Wildlife running havoc, bandits, pale folk with saccharine smiles, and other dangers are waiting along their path. It is them against an unrelenting world, and the group must learn to function together if they plan on surviving. With tension within the group, inexperience, and a lack of even basic weapons, this is easier said than done.It's foolish to believe that they can save the princess from a fate nearly worse than death, but a foolish endeavor is not yet a hopeless one, and their trials have only just begun. For the fate of the princess, for the fate of their lives, and all relying on a foolish endeavor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magical kingdom of charms and challenges, where the sun's rays caress the imposing towers and the flowers dance under the gentle breeze, my story unfolds on the pages of destiny. Beyond the barriers of nobility, I mingle with the subtle beauty of words that flow from a foolish, passionate heart. In the majestic castle, once echoing laughter and joy, now reigns a mournful silence. The beautiful princess, heiress of a prosperous kingdom, falls deeply ill, her vitality fading like a flame that slowly goes out. Uncertainty hangs over the kingdom, and fear grips every heart. However, amidst the impending darkness, an unexpected light emerges. A foolish love poet, known as the "Love Fool", enters the scene. His verses, at first glance simple, prove to be a balm for the princess's fragile soul. In this enchanting tale, we embark on a journey of overcoming, where the nobility of love is revealed in the most unusual places. On the verge of hopelessness, the princess finds solace in the words of the foolish poet, discovering that true wealth lies in the regenerating power of love, even when disguised in simplicity. Between the dark corridors of the castle and the lush gardens, we discover the princess's path in search of the song of her heart. A melody that transcends adversity and resonates like an eternal echo, reminding us that, even in the darkest hours, love can be the light that guides us back to life. As we become involved in this touching story, we are invited to reflect on the importance of finding beauty in the small details, of valuing the ties that unite us and of believing in the transformative power of love. Through the experiences of the princess and the poems of the foolish poet, we are reminded that, even in the most difficult times, there is always hope and the possibility of renewal. Welcome to this magical journey, where the limits of the impossible are challenged, and the power of love is revealed in all its grandeur.

Download or read book Fool written by Christopher Moore and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters, and ministerial students.” —Dallas Morning News Fool—the bawdy and outrageous New York Times bestseller from the unstoppable Christopher Moore—is a hilarious new take on William Shakespeare’s King Lear…as seen through the eyes of the foolish liege’s clownish jester, Pocket. A rousing tale of “gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity,” Fool joins Moore’s own Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, and You Suck! as modern masterworks of satiric wit and sublimely twisted genius, prompting Carl Hiassen to declare Christopher Moore “a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.”
