The Forest Lovers

Deep in the ancient forest of Morcetes, a knight named Sir Richard discovers a wild, beautiful girl named Isoult who has been raised far from courtly life. Bound by duty and drawn by an irresistible longing, he takes her under his protection—only to find himself entangled in a web of jealous rivals, outlaw raids, and the dark secrets of a crumbling abbey. As love and danger entwine, Isoult must decide whether the world beyond the trees will ever understand her, and Sir Richard must choose between honour and the truest passion he has ever known. Maurice Hewlett's beloved medieval romance is here retold in clean, vivid prose for today's readers, preserving the enchantment while shedding the archaic style. Part of Timeless Classics.
