Rose Knot

Description

Set during the time of King Arthur, Rose Knot is a powerful, richly textured tale featuring some of the lesser known members of King Arthur’s court: the sons of Lot, the Orkney royal family. Following the violent death of their mother, Sir Gaheris finds himself the reluctant focus of sibling tensions and squabbles; the suspicion of guilt hangs over him, not least because he will offer no explanation or defence. When Gaheris is tasked with escorting his brother’s wife, Llinos, home from court, neither suspect the tragic consequences that will result, as they lose their way and become stranded within an enchanting and beguiling forest. Told by Llinos of Kinkenadron, wife to Sir Gareth of Orkney, this is a gripping saga of love, infidelity, loyalty, misguided intentions and the price of nobility. The fifth entry in our stand alone novella series is presented by historian and award-winning fantasy author Kari Sperring and takes place in the same Arthurian milieu as the author's excellent Serpent Rose (NewCon Press, 2019).
