Product Description
Synopsis
Drawing from Joseph Campbell, and from the sources both historical and literary, this is a new take on the story of Camelot's most famous knight. The story of Lancelot is one of striving for perfection in the mortal realm only to fall short due to sins of the flesh. But in LANCELOT DU LETHE, Guinevere and Lancelot share a mythical bond of which Arthur can not be a part: they are both of the bloodline of the fey, and are destined to be betrothed. This necessitates a war of loyalties not just in the mortal realm of Camelot but also in the spiritual netherworld of the multi-pantheons of the gods.

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Lancelot du Lethe is the second book featuring King's unique take on the Arthurian legends. Gone are the various pantheons of gods, as this book is mostly about the land of Britain itself, its ties with the Fey folk, and how Christianity is pushing everything aside. King plays with the legends even as he includes many things that we all know and love about them. This is a better book than the first and it doesn't contain any of the problems the first book had. It does, however, have a couple of its own.

As good as Mad Merlin was, this book is just so much richer that it's hard to believe. Anybody familiar with the Arthurian legends knows of the ill-fated love between Guinevere and Lancelot, and how the betrayal of Arthur affects Camelot and everything around it. While sticking to the basics of the legend, King adds so much more to the tapestry that it reads like a new tale. While Mad Merlin added the war between the gods, Lancelot du L
