All the colorful characters and events of fabled Camelot come vividly to life in this unique new account of legendary king Arthur, Lancelot du Lac, and Guinevere, lady of Leonesse. Here is a Lancelot never before revealed – a fearless drifter who sold his sword or money until he found something truly worth the battle. Here, too, is a different Guinevere, a warrior queen and wise king Arthur Pendragon who would go to any length in order to save his people Lancelot was First Knight – until his love for Guinevere tested his loyalty for his king. Thrill as this chivalrous trio defends the Round Table from the murderous rogue Malagant in a fantastic rendition of an enduring tale, written with all the fire and passion of the period by Elizabeth Chadwick, winner of the Betty Trask Award for her novel "The Wild Hunt." (The superstar cast of the major motion picture by Columbia Pictures included Richard Gere, Sean Connery and Julia Ormond.)
