I’m merely a maiden with a heart that can’t speak for itself. That’s tied to my station. That aches for another.
I’m merely a maiden. With a bloodline of old magic. Forbidden magic. I feel it stirring inside, but I don’t know what it is or how to access it.
Enter an enchanted world of castles, kings, knights, sorceresses, mythical monsters, but mostly of a coming-of-age princess who is the descendant of powerful queens with ancient, otherworldly bloodlines.
Be swept into a beautifully enchanted, Celtic-flavored, Camelot romance of druid magic, mythical creatures, and this Arthurian legend retold from seventeen-year-old Guinevere’s perspective as she discovers her truth, her power, and ultimately how she shapes a kingdom.
It’s not the legend you’ve heard. But one you should hear: Lady Guinevere was her father’s leverage, the king’s prize, Morgaine’s pawn...until she discovered her druidess power.
Join her on an enchanted, medieval adventure.
“A beautiful coming-of-age fantasy with plenty of Celtic magic, romance, intrigue…gripped me from the beginning. Couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for more.”
“A sometimes lighthearted, sometimes emotional, but always entertaining Arthurian Legend retold with the enchanted flavor of a fairytale romance, the magic and mystery of richly detailed sword & sorcery, and the power of a female heroine discovering her true power. Loved it!”
