Alice Winn
Princess Isode is happy with life in medieval Ireland. Her hair is as shiny as thread of pure gold, every knight she heals with her medicinal powers falls madly in love with her, and she will become a great queen once she marries Sir Palomides, the second-best knight in all the world--the moment he converts to Christianity. Her plans, however, are shattered when a mysterious newcomer defeats her beloved in a tournament.
Handsome, unfriendly Sir Tristram is fast becoming the strongest knight--yet has no interest in marrying Isode. He wants only to win approval--worship--from his idol, Palomides, and a seat at the Round Table. Palomides is too preoccupied with whatever is going on with him and God. Meanwhile, civil war is brewing in Camelot. As Princess Isode tries to regain control of her once glittering future, she and Tristram set out on a perilous voyage, and begin to see each other in a new light.
Worship is the stuff of legend, a wickedly funny, endlessly surprising novel about hope in the face of uncertainty--how far we might go, and what we're willing to lose, for the ones we love.

Reviews
“Taking you captive from the first sentence, Alice Winn’s Worship never lets go in this tumultuous reimagining of Arthurian legend. Her knights and princesses are gloriously, imperfectly human, as likely to be undone by their own feelings as by any enemy. Completely different in tone, content and style from her debut, In Memoriam, Worship is destined to become another instant classic in a genre all its own.” —Hannah Rothschild, author of The Improbability of Love
“Alice Winn builds a brilliant, beguiling world from the materials of medieval chivalry. Her book is witty and surprising at every turn, and utterly involving. Poised between the fifteenth and twenty-first centuries, Winn’s prose captures the timelessness of stories of honour and chivalry, love and tragedy.” —Anthony Bale, author of A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages
“In Worship, Alice Winn has done something very special: created a vision of the medieval world that is both authentic and utterly her own. Funny, deliciously weird and—in the end—deeply moving, this book is a golden addition to the legend of King Arthur.” —Dan Jones, author of The Plantagenets
“I laughed, I cried, was bowled over and then re-thought every friendship I ever had. Worship is a dazzlingly witty punch to the gut, an Arthurian answer to love in modern times. Winn is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and Worship is unlike anything you’ve ever read.” —Yael van der Wouden, author of The Safekeep
