About This Book

The collection retells the cycle of chivalric legend centered on a high king who gains a magic sword and establishes a fellowship of knights. It traces his rise and wars, the counsel and prophecies of a magician, the enchantments of a lake-dwelling lady, and the founding of a famed round table. Interwoven are episodic adventures of knights—feuds, enchanted weapons, treason by a royal sister, quests, tournaments, and tragic romances including a love triangle that undermines the fellowship—culminating in betrayal, fatal combats, and the collapse of the court's ideal.
