Welcome to Litsy!

Pursued by her enemies, flattered and courted for her lands, a powerful, devious princess is desperate to reach refuge. Melanthe can trust only one man amid the lies, the mysterious Green Knight—a true knight who never wavers; a man who cannot comprehend deceit. But as an impossible love grows between them, betrayal becomes their only future . . . In this classic romance, Laura Kinsale has crafted a rich, sensual portrait of life during the Middle Ages. And now for the first time, readers can choose between two versions of the story. Both are included in this ebook. The first is the original published novel filled with Middle English dialogue and deep period detail. The second, included only here in the ebook version, has been reworked by the author to be a tighter read, with more modern words for dialogue. Whichever you decide to read, you will be richly rewarded with a story of love and honor for the ages.
