What a great read! I have been eagerly awaiting this book and I was NOT disappointed. Once I started reading this, I just couldn’t put it down. It has some great scenes…very well written. I love how this story is coming around and can’t wait for the next installment!
Most of us love the age old story of Arthur and Guinevere. The basic love story and action and adventure are all here. Arthur is taken as a baby and hidden where Morganna and her nasty thugs can’t find him,including his uncle who takes over as King.
Guinevere is a beautiful and kind princess who is going to marry the cruel prince for the good of her people. Arthur sees Guinevere and is smitten. There is, of course, a sword in the stone. Which Arthur happens to pull out, proving he is the future king. Merlin arrives to try to help Arthur understand who he is and what is at stake. Arthur is pretty sure they are all nuts!
The adventure and story is many faceted and extremely engaging. The characters are complex and well developed. Once I started it, I really had a difficult time putting the e reader down. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
Action, Adventure, Intrigue, Romance, and Humor all rolled into a great tale! This book continues from the first over 20 years later. It’s great to see how some things have expanded from the small beginnings. Even though Arthur doesn’t know his true past, things call to him. It’s all wrapped together with just enough humor and unexpected twists to keep you reading!

You really are sucked into the time of Camelot with this book, Leilani Love writes so well you feel like you are there. This is the tale of Arthur and Guinevere meeting and how their lives are changed just as predicted before either were born. Guinevere is to be married to the despicable Prince Gregory who is happy to flaunt his mistress in front of everyone, as far as she is aware it is he she is to marry as he will be King however all is not as it seems. Arthur is a mere hunter having been raised by a loving Mother and Farther who feels the pull to go to Camelot no matter his Mothers protesting and it is there he falls at Guinevere’s feet and fate takes over as his past is not what he thought. This is such a great tale of romance, destiny, ruthlessness and finding out what your true calling is, it is a slow burn but keeps you captivated and when you get to the end you are left wanting more so the countdown is on until the next book!!!

Tis is the age old tale of Camelot, but with a slight twist. Lancelot his his cousin and he falls for Guinevere before he pulls the sword out of the stone. This story ends with the fight for Arthur’s kingdom. Personally, I was neither intrigued or do I have any inclination to read further into this story. Let’s face it kingdoms fall all the time to stupidity of the heart.
Excellent Book Based on Arthurian Myth
I read the prequel to this book, which I absolutely loved—although it is not essential to understand this book—so I was looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint. Not only is it about Arthur starting from before he understands his destiny, but the first part of the book, at least, is about discovering the essence of Guinevere. I loved that! She is definitely straddling a world of expectations—being required to marry a hideous man in an equally hideous family—and what she knows is right. She is both a thoughtful and kick-booty heroine, a complexity that is not so easy to create. As you might be able to tell, I loved her character, perhaps more than Arthur! It’s not easy to do the right thing in difficult circumstances, yet she does so on several fronts. If you enjoy Arthurian myth, this is an excellent, though different, look at it.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Arthur slips over in the mud and when he looks up it is looking up into the face of Guinevere.
Arthur and his cousin Lancelot had come to Camelot to sell some furs which they had sold for a much higher price than they would normally get in the towns and villages where they usually traded. When Arthur slips over in the mud her looks up into the face the face of a beautiful woman who continues on towards a carriage. A small boy runs past her and the man by the carriage grabs him and when spoken to points to a nearby shop then a small girl is retrieved from the shop. They all enter the carriage and leave. When Arthur asks a man nearby who she was he is told Princess Guinevere.
