Synopsis

Drawing from Joseph Campbell, and from sources both historical and literary, this is a new take on the story of Camelot's most famous knight. The story of Lancelot is one of striving for perfection in the mortal realm only to fall short due to sins of the flesh. But in LANCELOT DU LETHE, Guinevere and Lancelot share a mystical bond of which Arthur can not be a part: they are both of the blood line of the fey, and are destined to be betrothed. This necessitates a war of loyalties, not just in the mortal realm of Camelot but also in the spiritual nether-world of the multi-pantheons of the gods.
