Lady’s Knight

Meer over het boek

An undeniably fierce, unforgettably funny, unapologetically queer feminist romp through medieval England, this tale follows an epic quest for valor, freedom, and love. Gwen is tired of hiding her blacksmithing skills, her attraction to girls, and her knightly ambitions. Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle, the queen bee of the castle, faces unexpected challenges when she becomes the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers. As Isobelle grapples with her predicament, she learns of Gwen's aspirations and they devise a plan: Gwen will joust disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle and glory for Gwen, but losing could spell disaster. Unexpectedly, love blossoms amidst their scheme, complicated by the presence of dragons. This story is a sapphic delight filled with jousts, courtly love, and humor. Critics praise its wit and charm, calling it a breathless adventure that showcases women's strength and independence. The narrative is both clever and romantic, inspiring readers to fight against dragons and the patriarchy. With heart-racing action, swoony romance, and sharp banter, it promises laughter and emotional depth. Readers will find themselves enchanted by the vibrant characters and their resourceful escapades, making it a captivating addition to the genre.
