La Profecia De La Beatryce

In a time of war, a mysterious child appears at the monastery of the Order of the Chronicles of Sorrow. The gentle Brother Edik finds the girl, Beatryce, huddled in a stable, racked with fever, covered in filth and blood, and clutching tightly to the ear of the goat Answelica. As the monk nurses Beatryce back to health, he discovers her dangerous secret--one that puts them all in danger, for the king of the land seeks such a girl, and Brother Edik, who wrote the prophecy himself, knows why. And so it is that a girl with a head full of stories--powerful tales within a tale of queens and kings, mermaids and wolves--ventures into a dark forest in search of the castle of someone who wishes her dead. But Beatryce knows that if she gets lost, those who love her--a wild-eyed monk, a man who was once a king, a boy with a terrible sword, and a goat with a head as hard as stone--will never return. To stop looking for her, and to know this is to know everything.
