Arms and White Samite

Enemy warbands ravage Arthur’s homeland, burning on every side. To rescue a lady, Arthur sends one rider into peril alone. The lady turns out to be far more powerful than anyone imagined. The rider is enraptured in the mysteries of the Faerie and the elves, and the worse and harder mysteries of war. Inspired by a long study of Arthurian fiction, philosophy, and the experience of war. It should appeal especially to readers who like J. R. R. Tolkien, Fritz Leiber, R. E. Howard, or Dunsany.
