Gwyneth wasn't supposed to fall in love with Gawain. Not like this. Gawain was the May King-a sacrifice offered to the Goddess for a bountiful harvest in return. Gwyneth knows this. His fate has been decided by powers beyond her control. But the warmth of his touch and the taste of his lips have blurred the lines of what she knows to be true. Now Gwyneth is willing to risk everything to keep Gawain alive, even if it means losing him forever...
In truth, in very truth, I do...

Synopsis
"Deliciously witty, feminist retelling of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."" -"Publishers Weekly"
A mysterious green stranger gallops into King Arthur's court and poses a unique challenge: any knight of the Round Table may try to chop off his head on the condition that if they succeed, he will have the same opportunity one year later. After a shameful silence, Sir Gawain steps forward and beheads the stranger. To everyone's surprise, the stranger then picks up his head and leaves, reminding Gawain of their future meeting. This captivating follow-up to "Merlin's Harp," now back in print, puts a new twist on the classic story of honor, pride, love, and betrayal.
