The Trap

A small group from Camelot is celebrating Arthur and Guinevere's anniversary at Canonwolde, the fortress where Arthur and Guinevere first lived when they were married.

Scarcely after they've reached the fortress, Arthur is injured in an ambush by his long-time foe, Steffan. Merlin's diagnosis calls for a balm made from the hawthorn bushes that lie outside the fortress, but Arthur will not allow anyone to leave the safety of Canonwolde until reinforcements from Camelot arrive.

But, Valiant and Am sneak out to collect the bushes and unwittingly reveal the plight of those trapped inside Canonwolde to one of Steffan's spies.

Steffan uses this discovery to plant a spy inside Canonwolde who is able to open the gates to Steffan's army. The reinforcements from Camelot arrive at the last moment to drive off the invaders and save Arthur and his party. The danger is over, except for Valiant, who must now face Arthur's wrath for disobeying a royal command.
