Song Of The Sparrow
Told in verse, this story reimagines the legend of Elaine of Ascolat, a young woman living in King Arthur's court. As war looms and knights prepare for battle, Elaine finds herself drawn into the world of chivalry and conflict. She navigates her own path amidst the epic tales of Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere.
This novel offers a complete narrative within its pages, focusing on Elaine's journey without requiring prior knowledge of other books or leading into a direct sequel.
The story is told entirely in verse, which provides a distinct lyrical quality and intimate perspective on the familiar Arthurian legend, setting it apart from prose retellings.
While it shares the author's characteristic lyrical writing style, Song Of The Sparrow stands as a unique exploration of historical fiction and mythology, distinct from her other works which often delve into contemporary young adult themes.
