The Complete Ice Schooner

by Michael Moorcock; Keith Roberts

  So at least the legend was sung, by the Minstrels of Abersgalt and while there are some in the Eight Cities who hold that an Abersgaltian speaking the truth and the melting of the Ice Eternal are events of equal probability, it’s best to conceal such doubts. For the nobility of Abersgalt are proud, and the House of Skalter the proudest of them all,

  Frey, so the story goes, lived many years happily with his brown-skinned bride; till the Great Sickness that romped through both Abersgalt and Brershill robbed him of the child, set him once more to that life of wandering of which a tale has already been told.
