Song of the Sparrow — Lisa Ann Sandell

Since the days of King Arthur, there have been paintings and poems created in her name. She is Elaine of Ascolat -- the Lady of Shalott. And now, there is a new story, a new vision, of this mysterious and captivating girl.

Beautiful sixteen-year-old Elaine has a temperament as fiery as her long red hair. The daughter of a soldier in young Arthur's army. Elaine is the sole girl in a militaristic world of men. Often slipping into daydreams, she wishes that the handsome Lancelot would see her as more than a tomboy.

Then a new girl arrives, and Elaine is thrilled -- until Gwynivere proves to be cold and cruel. But when Elaine and Gwynivere are thrown into a situation of gravest danger, the Girls must hand together in order to survive.

Can Elaine find the strength to fight for the kingdom she has always believed in?
