ToddYoungONLINE presents… In this episode of Young Tales, the rivalry and destiny of Rinaldo and Orlando (Roland) take a mystical turn in the enchanted Garden of Falerina, where illusion, temptation, and fate test even the greatest Paladins of France. From the battle for the legendary horse Rabican, to Orlando’s descent beneath an enchanted lake to confront Morgana, Lady of the Lake, this tale blends medieval romance, chivalric rivalry, and high fantasy into one of the most symbolic episodes of the Charlemagne legends. As knights are imprisoned by enchantment and freed through courage and restraint, love and pride continue to divide the cousins, setting the stage for deeper tragedy ahead. Perfect for listeners who enjoy medieval fantasy legends, Orlando Furioso, French epic romance, and timeless tales of magic, honor, and destiny.
