After many years of an outwardly stable marriage of convenience to Queen Guinevere, King Arthur is stunned one day when a strange knight, Prince Meleagant of Gorre, storms into his palace and challenges him for Guinevere's hand. After Meleagant seizes the Queen by force and takes her away to his distant castle, Arthur is forced to dispatch a young knight of his realm, Sir Lancelot, to rescue her. But in the ensuing adventure, both Arthur and Guinevere will be forced to confront the lies and evasions in their long relationship with each other. Drawing upon the medieval legends of Queen Guinevere's kidnapping in such works as Chretien de Troyes' The Knight of the Cart, this tale is a meditation upon desire, betrayal, adultery, and, ultimately, the failure to sustain lasting love and connection.

Did King Arthur really exist? The oldest manuscripts refer to him as a "Lord of Battle" who emerged soon after the Roman Empire crumbled. But what would be the origin of all these stories that turned a war leader into a king, an emperor, a legend... even a god? What if Arthur was really a deity similar to Zeus and Odin, with his roots in the rich Celtic mythology of the British Isles? A study of Arthurian myths reveals Britain's most legendary king as an ancient Sun God, known by many different names in the myths of Wales and Ireland. Even his Knights of the Round Table, and his sister Morgan le Fay can all be identified as ancient Gods and Goddesses of earth, sea and sky. Their survival in Arthurian legend stands as a shining testament of a story far more ancient, but by no means lost to us...

King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Loomis, whose research into the background of the Arthurian legend reveals findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial. The author sees the vegetarian goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights as the gods of sun and storm. If Loomis's arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur?
