The legendary author of Hild returns with an unforgettable hero and a queer Arthurian masterpiece for the modern era. On her adventures, she will steal the hearts of beautiful women, fight warriors and sorcerers, and make a place to call home.
Aflame with determination, she begins a journey of magic and mystery, love, lust and fights to death. With her stolen hunting spear and mended armour, she is an unlikely hero, not a chosen one, but one who forges her own bright path. So, brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she breaks her covenant with her mother and sets out on her bony gelding for Caer Leon. And when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she decides her future lies at his court. She grows up in the wild wood, in a cave with her mother, but visions of a faraway lake drift to her on the spring breeze, scented with promise.
