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?

"A favorite of mine since I was a child. I still pick it up frequently. The way it is written was unlike any book I had seen before, even to this day I’ve yet to find something like it. The story is riveting and brings back tales of Lancelot in a fresh way. It’s a lovely love story, and delightful to relax with. "

"I was caught off guard by the formatting but the lessons the book teaches had me in tears. I read this while going through a really difficult breakup and this book helped me a lot through it. I can especially appreciate the ending, it's sad but it's so satisfying!!"
