    This book is referenced in the movie Pride and Prejudice (maybe in the book too?) as being the popular scandalous rag of the time (early 1800's). I can't put it down; it's even somewhat scandalous for OUR times too.

    Damsels in distress, Swashbuckling-sword wielding handsome heroes, evil monks, witches, and magic-what else does a book need?
