WATER SPIRIT DAMOSEL, the Lady of the Lake, glides through Arthurian legend like a glamorous wraith, shimmering and shifting between the worlds of fairies and humans. Her knowledge is vast (magic, metal, menโs hearts) and leads to her greatest honorโand worst mistake. Damosel makes a promise to the wizard Merlin to protect young King Arthur, and then dares to break itโwith devastating results. All the while, 17-year-old Twixtโa dwarf in a world where difference can be deadlyโfinds himself freed from his cruel masters and moving closer to the one place he never expected to see: King Arthurโs court at Camelot.
Stephanie Spinner intertwines the two narratives of Damosel and Twixt to draw us straight into the rich Arthurian land of enchantment.
