With a love triangle between Elaine, Lancelot, and Tristan, a great plot takes hold. After being a witness to her own mother's death, Elaine then relies on all of the men in the camp to aid her. As she makes new friends and journey's through life, she comes to realize that she loves Lancelot. When it looks like he will finally express feeling towards her also, Gwynivere comes into the story, making a simple life become complex. In history, Gwynivere marries Arthur, but the story gives history a mind of its own, causing disasters here and there.
When Elaine and Gwynivere start to battle for Lancelot's heart, the men in their camp go off to war. Elaine realizes that they will need her nursing skills and starts to follow. Little does she know, she has company along the way. When the enemy attacks Elaine, Gwynivere comes to her rescue. But there are too many in number for them both, and they are captured. While imprisoned, the two girls learn to trust each other and devise a plan to escape. When they plan finally goes into action, something occurs that neither of the girls foresaw. But while their friends won the battle with Arthur at the lead, Elaine is hurt. Within a battle for her life and a battle amongst others for her heart, who will conquer?
Personally, I loved this book. Set back in the medieval times, soon after the affair of Tristan and Isolde took place, it is an enjoyable read. It was very easy to read and written in Old English. The plot provided many surprises and the conclusion of the story left me with a sense of happiness.
