About this ebook

This gripping addition to the Camelot canon -- written in beautiful verse -- has received glowing praise, and is an empowering story of rebellion and courage.

Since the days of King Arthur, there have been poems and paintings created in her name. She is Elaine of Ascolat, the Lady of Shalott, and now there is a book all her own. The year is 490 A.D. and 16-year-old Elaine has a temperament to match her fiery red hair. Living on a military base with her father, brothers, and the rest of Arthur's army, Elaine pines for the handsome Lancelot, and longs for a female companion. But when the cruel, beautiful Gwynivere arrives, Elaine is confronted with startling emotions of jealousy and rivalry. Can Elaine find the strength to survive the birth of a kingdom?

Ratings and reviews

When I read this book I loved the action and adventure, my nose did not leave it for a second this is my favorite book because when I read it I can see what's going on because of the way it's written it's like a movie for the mind and makes you feel like you're right there in that time.

I've have this book at home and now I can read it on the go. My fav book of all time
