A tale of chivalric romance and love of duty that surpasses the mortal love triangle of fair Gertha, a peasant woman who would be queen and defend her nation from all invaders; King Olaf, the man who would crown her; and Leuchnar, a loyal knight who loves and serves them both.
First published in two parts in The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, July and August 1856.
