Produktbeschreibung
Gwen, a Dark Age queen from the twenty-first century, is cursed with the knowledge of a future she dreads. In a time of murky history and confusing legends, Gwen, a girl from the twenty-first century who fell back in time to become King Arthur's Queen Guinevere, has no idea which of the tales told by her late father, a fanatical Arthurian scholar, are true. Her worst fear is that history is fixed, and she might be merely treading a path long laid down for her, that she can do nothing to alter. Every decision she makes could lead her closer to the doom that hangs over the people she's come to love - Camlann. The battle in which Arthur, the man she's given up everything for, is destined to die by the hand of his wicked nephew, Medraut. Will her questions be answered as she marches north with her husband to battle the invading Saxons? Will she even survive? History and legend intertwine in a story with an epic sweep that spans the realistically depicted post-Roman period of Early Medieval Britain. Guinevere The Dragon Ring The Bear's Heart The Sword

Autorenporträt
Fil Reid lives four miles from the sea in Cornwall with her husband and a rescue dog from Romania called Bella. Her books have been published by Dragonblade in the US since she won their Write Stuff competition. Her first six books comprise the Guinevere series - an innovative retelling of the Arthurian legend from the point of view of a modern origin Guinevere. Her short stories have been shortlisted in several competitions and won a few prizes. She has a new series set in Cornwall coming out this year, starting with The Cornish Mermaid.Apart from writing, the great love of her life has always been horses, and when she was younger she worked with them for a number of years - on the stud attached to Highclere Castle (where Downton Abbey was filmed), as a stable girl in a flat racing yard (when she was young, brave and thin), and in a riding school. She also ran her own riding school when her children were small.She speaks fluent French after having lived there for ten years, after which she lived on a widebeam canal boat before her move to Cornwall. One of the things she loves to do is to visit the sites she uses in her stories. However, she has acrophobia, a morbid fear of heights, so one or two places are out of reach to her. Too scary!She's been fascinated by all things Arthurian since she was a small child and saw the Disney film The Sword in the Stone, but didn't find out until she was an adult that she has Asperger's Syndrome (as do two of her sons). She now believes her ASD accounts for her obsessions with both horses and King Arthur.
