      Vivian wird von ihrer rätselhaften Großtante Morgana le Faye von der Klosterschule nach Haut-Desert geholt. Während sie dort in Magie und Hexenkunst unterrichtet wird, steht dem jungen Gawain am Hof von König Artus der Ritterschlag bevor. Die Liebe der beiden unschuldigen Menschen ist Morgana ein Dorn im Auge. Sie will Vivian dem grünen Ritter zur Frau geben, der mit rotglühenden Augen und riesenhafter Erscheinung ganze Landstriche in Angst und Schrecken versetzt, und sie so zum Werkzeug im Komplott gegen den König machen. Doch Morgana hat die Rechnung ohne den großen Merlin gemacht. - In den Mittelpunkt ihrer Fortschreibung der Artussage rückt Vera Chapman zauberhaft menschliche Frauengestalten.
