About this ebook

For the price of a truce, Yseult is sent to a world where magic is dying - to marry the father of the man she loves.

Marcus's son Drystan would have saved her from a loveless marriage, but with her relatives being held hostage, Yseult cannot endanger them and must go through with the wedding. The tragic love story of Yseult and Drystan plays out against the backdrop of a violent world threatening to descend into the Dark Ages - only Arthur's battles to push back the Saxon hordes can save what is left of civilization. With her background, Yseult could act as a bridge between the old age and the new - but will the price be too high?

Yseult is a retelling of the tragic tale of Tristan and Isolde, a story older than Romeo and Juliet or Lancelot and Guinevere; an Arthurian romance with roots going back far into the realm of legend and the undying tales of King Arthur.

From Yseult:

"Once upon a time beyond history, in an age almost beyond imagination, there was a girl as fair as the moon, sitting on a horse and watching a fire. The bonfire is a part of history, but the princess is a part of legend.
"Tristan and Isot, Tristram and Isolde, Essyllt and Drust, Yseult and Drystan: the spellings have changed, but they have always been lovers - the greatest lovers the world has ever known. Most accounts of their story have begun with the man.
"This one begins with the woman."

    Yseult the Fair is the daughter of a powerful Eriann queen Yseult the Wise. She is traded for peace to a King in Britain.Drystan is the son of the king and a soldier of Arthur's.Ysuelt is a basic love that can never be type of story. No surprises, you can pretty much guess what's coming the entire way through the book. It was well written.If you don't already know the story of Isolde and Tristan,you may find it interesting. The story involves war, betrayal (both political & personal),& religious upheaval, along with the love story.I found the book to be a bit long with many unnecessary sidelines. The first few chapters threw so many characters at you, it got alittle confusing. Although later you figure out who's who. The little intros to each chapter were also unnecessary & a little irritating.

    This book presents the love story of Tristan and Isolde. I have to admit that I found myself a bit bored with the book. It used a lot of flowery language but seemed to take forever to get anywhere. There was a lot of history thrown in, which I typically enjoy. But I found that the author went out of her way to use old fashioned spellings, which was extremely distracting. Overall, I could not get into the book.
