Book description
A stunning tale of romance and magic set against the legendary backdrop
of King Arthur's court.
At nineteen the beautiful Lady Rhian is clearly of marriageable age.
But her father seems reluctant to give his blessing to any of her
suitors. When she discovers the true reason for this - that in return
for her mother's life he promised her to a sorcerer - she runs away to
join a convent.
The sorcerer, Euberacon, is determined to exact his payment and waylays
Rhian on the road, but she is rescued by the valiant Sir Gawain, a
knight of King Arthur's Round Table, who gallantly offers to escort
Rhian to Camelot.
Gawain has grave tidings to bring to Arthur - the Saxons are growing
restless, and the threat of war looms. He has taken a great risk in
stopping to help Rhian. But when a band of Saxons attacks them, Rhian
proves that her skills include more than tapestry and gossip - and
Gawain will be captivated as much by her bravery as by her beauty.
