Description

The embittered Sir Meliagaunt is overlooked by King Arthur when a group of new knights, including Gildas of Cornwall, are appointed to the Round Table. In an ill-conceived attempt to catch Arthur’s notice, Meliagaunt kidnaps Queen Guinevere and much of her household from a spring picnic and carries them off to his fortified castle of Gorre, hoping to force one of Arthur’s greatest knights to fight him in order to rescue the queen. Sir Lancelot follows the kidnappers, and when his horse is shot from under him, he risks his reputation when he pursues them in a cart used for transporting prisoners. But after Meliagaunt accuses the queen of adultery and demands a trial by combat to prove his charge, Lancelot, too, disappears, and Merlin and the newly-knighted Sir Gildas are called into action to find Lancelot and bring him back to Camelot in time to save the queen from the stake. Now Gildas finds himself locked in a life-and-death battle to save Lancelot and the young girl Guinevere has chosen for his bride.

Advance Praise

Praise for Jay Ruud

“Like Merlin in his clever series, Jay Ruud works his own special kind of magic.”

Trenton Lee Stewart, New York Times best-selling author of The Mysterious Benedict Society


“Who knew a book so smart could be so entertaining? Jay Ruud’s Lost in the Quagmire is a rich and exhilarating and even unruly look at the famous round table of King Arthur. … brilliantly light and expertly well-plotted, but at the same time this knowledgeable medievalist manages to teach us a thing or two about knightly courtesy, about the human heart, and even about God himself. “

John Vanderslice, author of The Last Days of Oscar Wilde


“[Lost in the Quagmire is] A cleverly plotted mystery based on the Arthur legend. A Red Ribbon Winner and highly recommended.”

The Wishing Shelf Book Awards


“Lost in the Quagmire…takes us into the world of King Arthur …in a remarkably fresh new look at age-old themes of honor and redemption, love and valor, and power and destiny.”

Nancy Allen, author of A Down Home Twelve Days of Christmas
