A queer medieval alt history with all the camp, humor, and heart of a Knight's Tale!
Betrothed enemies Gwen and Art become reluctant (read: blackmailed) beards for each other during a time of increasing unrest in the medieval kingdom descended from Camelot. An unlikely but hugely likeable group of friends emerge, splinter, and rise anew in a tale of hope, identity, courage, found family, shenanigans, and adventure.
Armor your heart — it's about to get battered, bruised, and absolutely stolen by this merry medieval band!
[I listened to the audiobook for part of this one, and did not prefer it.]
