Epic Poetry Meets High Fantasy An Edenesque garden, a haunted tower, a forest shrouded in twilight wherein dwell Centaurs, Elves and a myriad of animals fantastic and mystical; this is the setting in which Babb's "Lirazel" comes to life and where the tragedy of her life must unfold. Her doom is set, deadly, inescapable and even more tragic due to alternatives Lirazel makes as she spurns knowledge for folly in a desperate gamble for love. In the world of Lirazel there is an evil; historic and monstrous, seductive and sorcerous. Its malice is hyper-focused on revenge and the usurpation of power. To satisfy its plots the Princess Lirazel must pass away. Perhaps then, a powerful relic will be discovered and then said by the usurpers. A crown, made for a princess but desired with a treacherous elf-witch and a fallen Knight; for this thing a brutal warfare must be fought, heroes must pass away and a maiden be cursed. The tale of the crown is the storyplot Lirazel will reveal, as will the audience. This is actually the tale, told as poetry, in which she discovers herself enmeshed and in the end bewitched. The Lay Of Lirazel is narrative poetry told in epic fashion, but it is poetry fully outfitted with fangs and enough terror to keep a audience turning pages till the last curse falls and death and doom promise their prize! Author and scholar Bradley J. Birzer known as it "the best poem of the entire year", and continued to include, "Make no mistake, this is a full-blown, unapologetic place about kings, queens, and everything that counts in Faerie. Another touch of genius, to be certain."
