ABOUT THE BOOK:
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.
'Funny, fresh and full of heart, even when it's breaking yours' —Cari Thomas
'Effortlessly balances humour with heartbreak for a truly unforgettable story’ —Naomi Kelsey
‘A love story that’s hilarious and touching surrounded by an adventure that will make you rethink everything you think you know about Arthur, Guinevere and Camelot. A literary voice that is utterly unique and delightfully refreshing’ —Ian Doescher
‘Takes two of literature’s most legendary love stories — Tristan and Isolde, Guinevere and Lancelot — and weaves them together with wit and with clever, sparkling dialogue, mining the depths of love and longing with a lightness of touch’ —Rachel Hochhauser
