The Triumph of the Heart." In a time not now and in a world not of our own: Kapa’a, Bogumil, and Koritane are the three youngest sons of King Ansgar of Kimbria and Queen Anwen Keholani, the High Chief of the Kimbrii people. These three brothers were only fourteen, twelve, and nine when their father died in a tragic accident, leaving them to enter manhood without his guidance. But we know almost nothing of what happens to these young men. The only mention in the novel "Ansgar" is that they leave Kimbria and settle elsewhere. This novella completes their story. It isn’t necessary to read Ansgar first, but it would provide a better understanding of the family, cultural, and geographic setting in which these brothers lived. The related novellas, The Feathered Crown and Far Endeavor, also provide insight into their family history, sibling relationships, and the mixed cultural setting in which they were raised. less
