Ithilæn is the first book of an historical fantasy trilogy that takes place between 1199 (the death of Richard I) and 1214 (the battle of Bouvines), during the wars between John 1 of England and Philip Augustus of France. The first book is set primarily, although not exclusively in the County of Ithilæn, a fictional demesne within the actual Duchy of Mortain, in north-central France. The Duchy was among the first to switch allegiance from England to France after the death of Richard. I introduce a Ring of Power into this well known and often told story, which initiates a series of conflicts that takes the reader from France to Tibet, Persia, Mongolia and ultimately China.
