Summary

Guinevere, meanwhile, no gentle creature waiting patiently in the moonlight, has designs and plots of her own. The story of these characters and others is narrated forcefully and with dry wit by Derfel Cadarn, one of Arthur's warriors, who later becomes a monk. Cornwell knows his history the battle scenes are particularly fine but not once does it get in the way of people of flesh and blood meeting on a darkened field of combat
