    <body><![CDATA[Damosel is the Lady of the Lake.  She accepts Merlin's challenge to forge Excaliber, and to watch over Arthur when he is imprisoned by her sly cousin, Nimue.  There are also some bits about a Dwarf.<br/><br/>I was dissapointed by this book.  I really was expecting more.  It read like an introductory manual to the world of King Arthur.  The moral was pretty simple- &quot;learn the rules before you break them, which makes you happy but will probably cause some major screw up IE failing Camelot.&quot;  The Lady's narration alternated with that of a random dwarf, who felt like a plot crutch.  Plus, I'm not even really sure she got all her characters straight.  ]]></body>
