In the land of Espada a knight by the name of Jonathan Bertrand has fallen in love with a young maiden named Davina. When the knight is at first rejected, he pushes on and proves his love to the maiden. But in the midst of all this, the king's daughter, Josephina, has wanted Bertrand for herself for a long time. In her desire for Bertrand, the princess sets off a chain of events that will lead those involved to places of danger. Will Bertrand and Davina be able to avoid the princess' schemes, or will they fall prey to them? Inspired by the Medieval Romance tales of centuries past, The Tale of Sir Bertrand and Lady Davina is certainly worth a read for lovers of medieval literature. It brings the feel of the Medieval Romance into the modern age.
