The Grail Of Hearts

February 1992 Tor Books. Published in 1989

In a redaction of Wagner's Parsifal, Kundry, victim and apostate, falls into the control of the wizard-eunuch Klingsor. After laughing in anguished hysteria at the Crucifixion, she is condemned to wander the world until she and the Fisher King whose fall she caused can be redeemed by the Fool Made Wise Through Pity.

Kundry, dramatic heroine of Wagner's Parsifal, tells how she laughed at the Crucifixion and wandered until a Fool made wise by pity could heal her and bring fertility to the wasted forest of Broceliande.
