The table of less valued knights

Phillips, Marie, 1976-2014
Books, Manuscripts
Sir Humphrey du Val of the Table of Less Valued Knights - Camelot's least prestigious table - has been banned by King Arthur from going on quests, and hasn't left the castle in 15 years. He's tempted out of his imposed retirement by Elaine, who is looking for her kidnapped fiancé. She appears to be the classic Damsel in Distress, but turns out to have a big secret to hide. Across the border in Puddock, the new young queen, Martha, is appalled to be married off against her will to the odious Prince Edwin of Tuft. She disguises herself as a boy and runs away, but doesn't get very far before the Locum of the Lake - standing in for the full-time Lady - intercepts her with some startling news: Martha's brother, the true heir to the throne of Puddock, is not dead as she has always thought, and Martha must go on her own quest to find him. The two quests collide, entangling Humphrey, Elaine and Martha's lives.
