This novel centers around two paladins of Charlemagne, characters who embody different aspects of heroism and faith. The main figure is Agilulfo, played by Rita Forzano, a knight of Selimpia Citeriore and Fez, who uniquely animates an empty suit of armor purely through his willpower and unwavering faith in Charlemagne’s cause. Unlike ordinary knights, Agilulfo has no physical individuality, giving him a somewhat ghostly presence, yet his dedication makes him a formidable and revered figure during the epic battles of the time.
