Deliciously witty and wholly original, the second novel from the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize-winning In Memoriam author draws from the legend of King Arthur to spin an unforgettable tale of love, faith and sacrifice, as an Irish princess and a mysterious knight find their fates intertwined.
Irish princess Isode is certain she will marry a king worthy of her, and she believes that king might just be Sir Palomides – if only he would convert to Christianity. Her plans, however, are shattered when a mysterious knight named Tristram defeats her beloved in a tournament. Solitary, handsome, and fast becoming the best knight of all, Tristram has no interest in marrying Isode. He only wanted to win approval – worship – from his idol, Palomides, and a seat with the knights of the Round Table. But after the tournament, Tristram and Isode’s fates are tied – whether they like it or not.
As civil war brews in Camelot, Isode tries to regain control of her once glittering future. Amid turmoil and magic, Tristram and Isode set off on a perilous voyage and begin to see each other in a new light. What if their future holds more than either of them could ever imagine?
Dazzlingly inventive and endlessly surprising, Worship is a stunning novel about faith and love in the face of uncertainty – of how far we might go, and what we’re willing to lose, for the ones we love.
