The Search for Death

"King William, a wise, distinguished, and glorified ruler of many lands, had spent his entire life searching, but even he did not quite know what precisely he was searching for. Some of his noblemen had said that as a person of prestige, he had chased death, only intervening when necessary; yet others claimed he was merely seeking a life filled with absolution. Regardless of the king's intentions or desires, life and love have an interesting way of adding its own little twist of fate to the mix, and, as usual for him, it is always when it is least expected."
