In a post-Arthurian Britain the king's daughter, Gwendoline, has been betrothed (at birth) to Arthur, DeLacy, descendent of THAT Arthur, and feckless son of a minor lord. Unfortunately they can't stand each other, so when the marriage is looming, Art is sent to Camelot to spend the summer and to make friends. It doesn't go well, but understanding and potential friendship happens when Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers Gwen's secret passion for Bridget Leclair, female tourney-knight. This is a sweet LGBT quirky story which morphs into something more serious (and bloody) Art is totally the opposite of his namesake ancestor. He can't fight and tries not to do too much deep thinking, especially when he's attracted to Gwen's bookish brother, Gabriel, who is next in line for the throne. It's a coming of age story for Gwen who learns what she wants out of life. I enjoyed this, though the ending is a little convenient. YA romantic semi-comedy. Recommended.In a post-Arthurian Britain the king's daughter, Gwendoline, has been betrothed (at birth) to Arthur, DeLacy, descendent of THAT Arthur, and feckless son of a minor lord.
