on july 22, 2017, michael eging and steve arnold released a novel ″the silver horn echoes: a song of roland," inspired by the la chanson de roland. this work is more closely based on a screenplay written by michael eging in 2008, simply known as "song of roland" and first optioned to alan kaplan at cine la that same year. the book explores the untold story of how roland finds himself at ronceveaux, betrayed by ganelon and facing the expansive saragossan host. primary characters in the novel include charles (charlemagne), ganelon, bishop turpin, oliver, aude, marsilion, blancandarin and others recognizable from the poem. introduced in this tale are additional characters that inject intrigue and danger to the story, including charles oldest son, pepin, marsilion's treacherous son, saleem, and the scheming byzantine emissary, honorius. the cover artwork was hand painted by jordan raskin. the authors determined when writing both the screenplay and the novel to remain in the world created by the poem; thus charles remains an older man near the end of his long reign rather than in 778 when the attack on the rearguard actually occurred. further, this novel bookends the story with william the conqueror's use of the poem as a motivator for norman forces prior to the battle of hastings in 1066.
