In this Arthurian fantasy that picks up several years after The Squire's Tale leaves off, Terence finds himself at the beginning of another quest as Sir Gawain's squire. Although the novel builds upon plot elements and characters found in the first volume, the story stands well alone. Laced with magic, humor, and chivalry, this reworking of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" provides an engaging introduction to the original tale.
