Phoenicia Rogerson: Isolde, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the brilliantly witty author of Aphrodite and Herc comes a story set in the court of King Arthur, featuring knights, valour, sacrifice, magic and a feminist retelling of the love story of Tristan and Isolde.

Isolde, Queen of Cornwall, is on the run.

She didn't mean to drink a love potion with the king's nephew, but that little accident has made her scandalously famous. Luckily, she and Tristan find refuge in Camelot, the legendary court of King Arthur. This ought to be her happy ending.

Only it isn't. She discovers that Camelot is full of chivalrous knights who aren't sure how to speak to a woman, and while it houses the greatest wizard of all time, he might just be responsible for crimes against humanity. And one more thing, the love potion has worn off...

Now Isolde will have to work out what sort of life a woman can carve out for herself when the songs about her have already been written.

A tale of battered reputations, Isolde introduces an unforgettable heroine finding her way through myth, love and a world of magic.
