In the tumultuous era of medieval England, a legendary swordsman named Tristan is renowned for his unrivaled skill and unwavering loyalty to his king. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the beautiful and enigmatic Isolde, a woman forbidden to him by the laws of his land.

As their clandestine romance blossoms, Tristan and Isolde face betrayal, danger, and the ultimate test of their love. With each stolen moment, they risk their lives and the wrath of their enemies. Yet, amidst the turmoil, their bond deepens, forging an unbreakable connection that transcends the boundaries of courtly propriety.

Fencing With the King is a captivating tale of forbidden love, redemption, and the power of true courage. It explores the complexities of human nature and the unwavering bonds that can endure even in the face of adversity.

About the Author

J.R.R. Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1892. He moved to England with his family when he was three years old. He attended King Edward's School in Birmingham and then Exeter College, Oxford, where he studied English language and literature.

After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien worked as a teacher and a lexicographer. In 1925, he published The Hobbit, which became a critical and commercial success. The Lord of the Rings, published in three volumes between 1954 and 1955, was even more successful and has become one of the best-selling novels ever written.

Tolkien died in Bournemouth, England, in 1973.
