In this tale of Arthurian romance for young adults, Lady Green, witch and priestess to the Goddess, but decide between her people and her love when Gawain stumbles into their May Day celebration. Crowned the May King, Gawain must be sacrificed at summer's end to ensure the next year's crop and his fate is outside Lady Green's control. Or is it.
I had high hopes for this tale but was terribly disappointed. Gawain, the Christian Knight is portrayed as a prideful and arrogant fool. Yet, he is also portrayed as the more intelligent, rational, and "advanced" character. Lady Green, or Gwyneth, is portrayed as simple, overly sexual, and deceptive. It is Lady Green who is chased by evil, regardless of the love in her heart.
All in all, the book was difficult to follow, confusing, and did not kindly portray women or pagans. My money would have been spent better elsewhere.
