Armed with Madness begins by invoking an ancient enchantment, a numinous vision of coincident reality, where love can also lead to insanity. Scylla Taverner, her brother Felix, her soon-to-be lover Picus, and their closely knit circle of English, Russian and American friends, retrieve an ancient chalice, which may be the Sanc-Grail. Together they enter upon a psychological and sexual exploration fraught with exhilarating possibility and violent consequence.Five years later, in Death of Felicity Taverner the quest is renewed, this time to discover a buried truth. Was Felicitys death accidental? A suicide? Or a murder? As the mystery unravels, Felicitys opportunistic widower unveils a plan with a vacation-home development, inciting a drama played out between conscience and evil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882813358368,"sku":"NEW0929701186","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41WyDx-Um_L.jpg?v=1781849537","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-taverner-novels-armed-with-madness-and-death-of-felicity-taverner-recovered-classic-series-0929701186","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
