She has lived her entire life in a cave deep in the wild wood with only her mother for company. But visions of a distant lake call to her on the spring winds, and when a passing traveler mentions Artos, the king of Caer Leon, she knows her fate lies beyond the forest. Against her mother's wishes, she breaks their sacred agreement and rides out on her thin horse toward the royal court. Armed with a hunting spear she stole and patched armor, she makes an unlikely warrior. Magic flows through her veins as she journeys toward Caer Leon, facing sorcerers and fighters along the way. She wins the love of beautiful women and carves out her own place in a world that never expected her. This is her story of transformation from forest dweller to hero, told through battles, romance, and the discovery of her true power.
