Blurb:
Do you like captivating, passionate historical fantasy featuring King Arthur, Gwenhwyfar, Merlin, Nimue, Morgaine, and Lancelot? Inspired by The Mists of Avalon, this sensual retelling of the Arthurian romances brings these legendary characters to life.

Destiny cannot be altered.

With Britannia falling to the Saxon hordes, Morgaine, Queen of the Faeries, has no choice but to make a pact with the Christian monks. She promises to give them a High King who will unite the Britons against the Saxons if he takes a queen from the faery realm. Morgaine hopes this will restore the Goddess faith and return Avalon to its rightful place. She sends Lancelot to guard the future High King, but when a love potion falls into the wrong hands, all seems lost.
Gwenhwyfar is the only hope for the future, but betrayal, revenge, and forbidden love surround her, all of which could send both Britannia and Avalon into ruins.



Excerpt:

“When I see Lancelot, I will tell him you came looking for him.” Nimue began her descent into the lake.
Morgaine stopped and glanced back. “That is not true. I did not come here to find him.”
Nimue smiled, a knowing gleam sparking in her clear eyes just before her head disappeared beneath the water.
Morgaine could not hide her true feelings from Nimue, which was why she preferred to keep her distance from her. There were things that Nimue did not need to know.
She sighed. Nimue had spoken the truth. Morgaine had hoped to find Lancelot here. She wanted to see him before he left...again. This time she was the one who was sending him away, and her decision made her heart ache.
