Sixteen-year-old Elaine of Ascolat is amazingly beautiful with her long red hair and her soft natural face. Living in an army
camp full of all guys, Elaine figures the handsome Lancelot to be her true love. Until her troubles and daydreams get the
best of her, when even prettier Gwynivere arrives at the camp and is immediatley drawn to Lancelot - even though she is
engaged to Arthur.
Gwynivere's mean remarks but beautiful outer self makes Elaine jealous enough to play a cruel prank on her, but when her
friends and family leave her to go fight the Saxons, her heart tells her to pack a bag and go with them to heal the wounded.
Shot by arrows and cut by a knife, Elaine gains both friendship and confidence in herself.
This exciting book by Lisa Ann Sandell makes you feel like you are back in olden times, right there fighting with Elaine.
This is a VERY well-written book and I recommend it to all. A great read!
