By David Murray Smith

Book Overview

Palamon and Arcite is a book written by David Murray Smith. It is a retelling of the famous medieval tale of two knights, Palamon and Arcite, who fall in love with the same woman, Emily. The story begins with the two knights being imprisoned in Athens after being captured in battle. While in prison, they both see Emily from afar and immediately fall in love with her. They make a pact to not let their love for her come between their friendship, but as time goes on, their love for Emily becomes all-consuming. The two knights eventually escape from prison and are granted permission to fight for Emily's hand in a tournament. The book follows the knights as they prepare for the tournament and ultimately compete against each other for Emily's love.
