Lancelot Du Lethe

The Arthurian epic that began in Mad Merlin continues with the story of the greatest knight, paramour, and traitor the Round Table has ever known. The story of Lancelot is one of striving for perfection only to fall short due to the sins of the flesh. But in Lancelot du Lethe the knight is only partially of the mortal realm. He and Guinevere share a mystical bond of which Arthur cannot be a part, for they are both of the bloodline of the fey, immortally destined to be betrothed. This ensuing war of loyalties and love threatens the uneasy peace not just of the mortal realm, but of the entire netherworld of the multi-pantheons of gods as well. Drawing from Joseph Campbell, and from sources both historical and literary, this is a new take on the story of Camelot's most famous knight, told as only the author of Mad Merlin can. "Sir Thomas Mallory meets Marion Zimmer Bradley head on . . . flashes of brilliance." —Publishers Weekly "King's talent for vivid descriptions and deft characterization makes this saga of the legendary knight and his ill-fated love affair seem new." —Library Journal
