Warrior Queen

Beschreibung

It's been almost three years since Gwen, a 21st century librarian, fell back through time to become King Arthur's Queen Guinevere. Arthur's drawn the legendary sword from the stone and beaten his jealous brother. The only thing left to do is prove to his fellow kings that he's worthy of the title High King of all Britain. Not an easy task. At the same time, the countdown through the list Gwen knows of Arthur's legendary twelve battles is flying past, bringing the thirteenth, fatal Camlann, ever nearer. With history tracking so close to legend, all of Gwen's fears seem likely to come true. While Arthur is away fighting Irish invaders in the far west, messengers arrive from the north, requesting urgent help. Gwen is forced to lead a party of her husband's men across the River Severn in search of Arthur's army. But she's heading towards the inevitable realization that there are no true victors in war. Can there be a happy ending for Gwen and Arthur, or is it written in stone that he must die? ¿¿Guinevere The Dragon Ring The Bear's Heart The Sword Warrior Queen The Quest for Excalibur The Road to Avalon

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.
