In the distant future, a medieval system rises from the ruins of a technology that destroyed itself. Armored knights ride their horses across dunes of rust, battling for the honor of the Queen.

Praise for this book

"Harrison makes a tone poem of the far distant future where men and creatures which delight and terrify the imagination fight in the never-ceasing battle of good against evil." - Philip José Farmer

"So much better than other novels in its field that I believe it will in time become a favourite classic among readers of science fantasy." - Michael Moorcock
