Banished from his home, with no hope of clearing his name or honour - Galahad had few choices and even fewer good ones. 

Thrown from her world into one of magic and monsters - Robin has only one chance to survive and maybe get home. 

With a tailor who is terrible with money but great at talking himself into and out of trouble and a mage who hasn't actually passed his exams yet, can this motley band get Robin home in one piece and clear Galahad's name in the process?

A Knights Gambit has been taken down while I work on finishing the second half (and making edits as my beta readers have recommended). I will bring it back again as soon as I am able.
