Rhian of the Round Table

Before she carried a sword, she carried a secret. Rhian is a blacksmith's daughter who disguises herself as a boy to win a place as a page in the court of the newly crowned King Arthur - because girls aren't allowed to serve at Camelot, let alone dream of knighthood. When old Merlin senses she has a rare gift for magic and second sight, Rhian is swept into the greatest legend of all time: the raising of Excalibur, the founding of the Round Table, and a kingdom threatened by treachery, sorcery, and war. As Arthur's champions - Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Sir Tristram, Sir Galahad - ride out on their famous quests, Rhian rides in their shadow, running secret errands for Merlin, uncovering a plot against the crown, and slowly earning a truth she never expected: courage isn't about your birth, or even your sword arm - it's about what you're willing to risk for the people you love. Packed with castles, dragons in disguise, enchanted forests, riddles, loyalty, and one girl's fight to prove that chivalry belongs to anyone brave enough to claim it, this is the story that Malory never told - the one happening just outside the frame of the legend.
