Bridget & Gabe Are Not Okay (The Camelot Disasters #2)
Epigraph
It befell in the days of King Allmot of House de Gray, when he was king of all England, that his cousin Lord Willard did rise against him in rebellion, with some unhappy traitors of the cult of King Arthur behind him, in order to take his throne by force.
King Allmot fought well and nobly as a king should, and cut many a deadly stroke. But Lord Willard’s man smote him with his sword, and he swooned to the ground, and the boy who was to be Lord Delacey, sworn to marry the Princess Gwendoline, held him up until his life was spent.
Then the Lady Bridget Leclair, sworn knight and very good friend to the Princess Gwendoline, took up the sword Excalibur, and struck down the traitor Lord Willard. So it came to be that King Allmot’s son, Gabriel, was to be king.
