Description:
When ill fortune causes Deigh mac Diarmuid and his wife Ehne into exile, all looks bleak for the Irish peasants. But Deigh's uncanny ability with horses ensures him a position as stablemaster for Lord Trystan, in Britain, where they find new life as Lord Gareth and Lady Rhian. Serving first as Trystan's servant, then his equal, Gareth joins Arthur's court, rides with the king's cavalry against the Saxons, and comes to be Trystan's truest friend. For Trystan is fated to love a queen -- the wife of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. However, his passion for Yseult becomes his downfall and Arthur banishes Trystan from Britain forever. At an outpost in barbarous Gaul, Trystan and Gareth marshal a small army to stand against the encroaching Franks. As they prepare for the siege, Gareth falls under the spell of Isolt, the chieftain's daughter to whom Trystan is wed but will never love. All the while, Trystan pines for his lost love, the unattainable Yseult. Amid the thunder and smoke of battle, Gareth, Isolt, Trystan, Yseult -- lovers all -- are caught in the web of destiny to face a future none wanted -- but none could avoid.
