An epic retelling of Lancelot’s rise, forbidden love and ultimate downfall.Raised in secret, a young warrior rides into Camelot unaware of the destiny awaiting him.His courage earns him a place beside King Arthur and among his most trusted knights.But one glance at Guinevere awakens a love stronger than loyalty, honour or duty.Their forbidden passion becomes a flame powerful enough to tear a kingdom apart.Lancelot ultimately realizes that the love he could not resist destroyed his king, his brotherhood and Camelot itself.Guinevere — for your love, I would burn Camelot.
