In the tradition of The Once and Future King and Mists of Avalon Persia Woolley has created a rich highly readable startlingly original recreation of the tale of Arthur--seen from Guinevere's point of view. In an age alive with portents and magic a spirited young beauty rode out of the rugged Celtic lands to wed the great warrior king Arthur. Now at las Guinevere herself unfolds the legend. Born a princess raised to be a queen Guinevere traveled the length of England protected by the wise enchanter Merlin. As Britain struggled out of a long darkness scattered armies raised the cry for war and old gods challenged the new in combats mortal and immortal. And Guinevere encountered her destiny in the fabled dreams of her king. She would reign as High Queen of all Britain but her most perilous adventure was yet to come...the journey from royal innocent to passionate lover.
