a retelling of arthurian legends.

it follows the main character Elaine who is an oracle. She must get Arthur onto the throne alongside her friends Morgana, Lancelot, and Gwen. The characters are distilled to their archetypes and giving it that authentic legend feel. The story is also not told chronologically since the main character is an oracle which is an intriguing style.
