Exiled From Camelot
In Arthurian England, the mysterious young Prince Loholt comes to court, claiming to be the son of King Arthur and the lady Lisanor, whom Arthur once bedded. Only the seneschal Kay realizes that Loholt is not what he seems, and on campaign against Briant des Isles, the Breton warlord, Loholt’s treachery, caused in part by the dark sorcery of
Brisane, Briant’s leman, forces Kay to slay the boy. Disgraced, exiled, and outlawed, Kay fights to warn Arthur of the truth, though he has been cast out into the lowest levels of medieval society.
Not a retelling of an old legend, but a new story set in the Arthurian world, with wonderfully realized familiar characters and a strong courtly sensibility. As in the older medieval romances, the strongest bonds are between lord and liegeman, and the women of the Arthurian saga play a comparatively small role.
