The salacious claims that The Baron of Magister Valley bears any resemblance to a certain nearly fictional narrative about an infamous count are unfounded (we do not dabble in tall tales. The occasional moderately stretched? Yes. But never tall). Our tale is that of a nobleman who is betrayed by those he trusted, and subsequently imprisoned. After centuries of confinement, he contrives to escape and prepares to avenge himself against his betrayers. A mirror image of The Count of Monte Cristo, vitrolic naysayers still grouse? Well, that is nearly and utterly false. 650 0 $a Swordplay $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Revenge $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Betrayal $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nobility $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imaginary places $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Adventure fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $i Based on (work): $a Dumas, Alexandre, $d 1802-1870. $t Comte de Monte-Cristo. $l English. 800 1 $a Brust, Steven, $d 1955- $t Viscount of Adrilankha ; $v bk. 4. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021406.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2D0CD42673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
