Riding through the great courtyard ringed with the banners of the Round Table knights, Luneta felt very alone and uncharacteristically shy. Luneta is tired of living in dull Orkney with her mother and father. She would prefer the rich pageantry of court. And Luneta prides herself on always getting what she wants, so when the opportunity presents itself to stay at a family friend's castle near Camelot, she jumps at the chance. Her handsome cousin, Sir Ywain -- a young knight seeking adventure -- arrives just in time to escort her. Along the way they pick up Rhience, a young man living as a fool for a year. Together, they are about to step into a web of love, betrayal, and more than a bit of magic.
