This is the extraordinary narrative of the travels of Musculus Herodes Formosus -- jester, courtier, and intimate advisor to emperors and kings -- whose ambitions and appetites far exceeded his stature; whose pride and passion nearly cost him his life, yet won him the friendship of one of the greatest heroes of legend. A vivid and earthy account of a cunning survivor adrift in a violent age of change, Whose Song is Sung is a masterful blend of history and fiction that rivals Gary Jennings' Aztec and Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead in its storytelling power.
