Summary
In a land where glamorous knights compete in showy tournaments for fame and fortune, George wants to be the best. Being small and untrained means no knight will give her a coveted spot as their squire, but George won’t give up on her dreams so easily.
Serafina is the best knight around, no question. She’s so good that she’s getting bored and reckless in her jousts. It doesn’t help that everyone is mesmerized by Aethelberg, her sparkling rival, who is much better at playing to the crow…

Critics Review
“This colorful action-packed graphic novel about a medieval world with jousting knights, competitive rivalries, eager apprentices and corporate sponsorships is almost like a feudal and PG-13 “Heated Rivalry,” starring female characters. Meet George (short for Georgiana), who wants to squire for Lady Serafina, an accomplished knight whose wife is worried about how reckless she is getting in the arena. The queer relationships are treated, as they should be, as matter-of-fact.” —New York Times
“This dynamic and entertaining romp through a queer-normative medieval fantasy world rides full tilt toward fun.” —School Library Journal
“The gorgeously detailed world is full of anachronistic fun […] that will thrill fans of A Knight’s Tale and amuse historians who can tell you the vibe isn’t as unlikely as it seems. […] Anyone who read or watched Nimona and loved the dynamic between a small redhead with big ideas and her dark-haired, unenthusiastic mentor will find another pair to root for here.” —Booklist
“Set in a queer-normative world seemingly free of gender-based discrimination, Ladies of the Knight is an ode to contact sports that tells a story of joy, mentorship, bravery, and finding, or rediscovering, the joy in both life and the craft you dedicate yourself to. There is romance in this story, but the focus is on the mentorship relationship between George and Lady Serafina and their individual relationships to the sport they love.” —Annie Shields, Morgenstern Books, Bloomington, IN
