The Knight in the Panther Skin, Book One: Avtandil's Quest

Book One of Shota Rustaveli's Knight in the Panther Skin



Storms gather on the far reaches of the Arabian frontier. The King grows old, and the throne lacks an heir. To avert disaster, he appoints his only daughter as regent. But, just days after her coronation, a Black Knight appears on the edges of the Kingdom.



He wears the skin of a panther and rides a midnight steed. When the King and his foster son Avtandil challenge the stranger, the man in black butchers the King's men and vanishes before their eyes. Despite searching the empire, no one can find a trace of him or where he went. It's as if the man never existed.



Avtandil is given the impossible task of learning the secret of the Knight in the Panther Skin. To do this, he must undertake a perilous journey to lands no Arabian has ever seen. Alone and lost, he has no choice but to scour the edges of the world in search of his quarry. But first, he must overcome himself.



Success will win him the heart of his beloved, but failure will bring everything he loves to ruin. The only problem is, no one knows how to find the Black Knight or if he is even human...
