BLURB
A knight goes out of his way and seeks his
execution on his own free will in the hope people will remember him as the
embodiment of honor.
Sir Gawain serves as the most honorable knight at King Arthur’s Round
Table, and after an encounter with the mysterious Green Knight, Gawain’s fate
becomes intertwined with that of his own honorable death - a destiny he must
fight for to the bitter end. After accepting a beheading challenge from the
Green Knight, Sir Gawain is awestruck to find the knight quite alive, despite
his mortal wound.
In the year that follows, Gawain strikes out across the land in search
of the green chapel, just one link in the chain of a perplexing and ancient
mystery behind the Green Knight, and the circumstances of Gawain’s voluntary
execution. Along the way, Gawain’s strength, duty, and honor will be tested as
he fights through treacherous trials and carnal temptations. Trapped in a
terminal karmic scenario, and honor-bound to seek out his own death, Gawain
leaps into the ethos of mythology as a hero of legend.
A classic retelling of the story of Gawain and the Green Knight, this
story of karma and honor brings the legend back to life as a mystical romance
and epic adventure tale that will whisk you away to an era of chivalry, honor,
and divine purpose.
Excerpt
Hardly
had the food found its way onto the tables, King Arthur still standing on the
dais, arms crossed, when suddenly a gigantic amazon on an equally impressive
Pegasus crashes through the wall like lightning, followed by an entourage of
rowdy ghosts. Her skin and hair shimmer in various green shades. Her hair is
matted and tied into a wild bush by a coiling, hissing snake. Many more snakes
slither over her body and dive in and out of her skin.
The music
and dancing break off. The ghosts mimic the people, freeze on the spot with
wide eyes and open mouths. Only the horse makes itself heard, stamps with its
hoofs on the marble floor, and snorts with a steaming breath. Gawain fumbles
for his sword that he left in the disarming room, hypnotized by the huge ax
fastened to the amazon’s back.
“Who called
me?” Her voice rings loud and clear like cathedral bells. The stillness drags,
people are choking as if the ghosts just dived down their throats.
