Three ladies and their respective knights compose the original fellowship. The entrance of Birdalone introduces a fourth lady with her own set of sexual needs and desires. This curiously echoes the plot of Golden Wings in which the fair Jehane du Castel Beau waits with increasing frustration for her absent lover. Ultimately, Jehane\u0026#39;s unrequited desires manifest in destruction, Gervaise discovers her dead body outside the castle walls and the land plunges into fear and warfare. Although Birdalone helps the champions rescue the three ladies, her forbidden attraction to Arthur, the Black Square, unleashes destructive force that threatens to tear the fabric of the fellowship and the ideal romanticism of their world apart.\u0026rdquo; -Siobhan Lam [Download book](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8778).\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiteraire synopsis\u003c/b\u003e \u0026ldquo;*In The Water of the Wondrous Isles* keert Morris terug naar een utopische, a-historische middeleeuwse wereld vol mooie dames en hoofse ridders. Drie dames en hun ridders vormen het oorspronkelijke broederschap. Met de komst van Birdalone wordt een vierde dame ge\u0026iuml;ntroduceerd, met haar eigen seksuele noden en verlangens. Dat herinnert vreemd genoeg aan de plot van Golden Wings, waarin de mooie Jehane du Castel Beau met toenemende ergernis wacht op haar afwezige geliefde. Uiteindelijk eindigen Jehanes onbeantwoordde verlangens in destructie: Gervaise ontdekt haar dode lichaam buiten de kasteelmuren en het land valt ten prooi aan angst en oorlog. Hoewel Birdalone de helden helpt om de drie dames te redden, ontketent haar verboden aantrekkingskracht tot Arthur een destructieve kracht die het broederschap en de ideale romantiek van hun wereld dreigt aan stukken te scheuren.\u0026rdquo; - Siobhan Lam [Download book](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8778).\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1858,"name":"William Morris","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
