We all know the story of Henry VIII, the glorious ruler of England and Ireland, the terror of political opponents and warring exterminators. Or not? And if in his court animated by the intrigues the magic, the darkest species, had come into play? The power of the game can plague the deceitful, and docile court ladies sometimes turn into evil diabolics.

In the four stories you have in your hands, true or veritable stories are intertwined with the plot of legend and mythology. A farmer in Cornwall can not find interest in the young shawls that his father proposes to him, and so the sea gives her a gift. The life of a wealthy family of the beginning of the eighties, with the usual concerns of a son leaving for war and the firstborn who does not have a husband, is shocked when the god of war breaks into the quiet English countryside. Finally, a good-natured London professor at the end of the nineteenth century is pursuing his lost wife through time and space, fighting against Mordred, the murderer of King Arthur.
