Newly knighted, both Gareth of Orkney and Linnet of Perilous strike out in the world to make their names in the ranks of the Round Table. While it seems at first that they are unshakable, they find how easily they could be torn apart if they fail to find balance. Whether Linnet chooses to accept the defensive privileges due a lady or breaks free as a knight, their love will find its first true trial, and still may not survive.
