Legend
The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA knight and a queen fall for each other by accident, over a shared drink meant for someone else entirely, and spend the rest of their lives paying for a mistake neither of them chose. Bédier assembled this version from older, scattered medieval fragments into one continuous tragedy. Even knowing the ending from the first page changes nothing about how it lands.
