The Once and Future Queen

Epic romance. Love that transcends time. Magic and destiny collide in this spellbound fantasy that readers can't stop talking about. "You have given me everything. I wouldn't trade my time with you for a long life." SOME LEGENDS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY When tragedy shatters Vera's world, she's content to disappear into the quiet hum of hotel laundry rooms in Glastonbury. But when a mysterious guest reveals himself as Merlin and claims she's the long-lost Queen Guinevere, everything changes. As she is whisked back in time to seventh-century Camelot, she finds a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin, and a dark curse threatening to consume the realm. As memories of another life begin to stir, Vera is thrown into a web of betrayal, power and heartbreak. The handsome King Arthur - the stranger she now calls "husband" - often refuses to meet her eye, keeps her at arm's length. He is cold, forbidding...yet tender, and she soon finds herself longing for his touch. In a world built on legends and lies, Vera must choose between the woman she was and the one she's become, before history repeats itself. This compelling and lushly written book is the first in an addictive new romantasy series that offers a wholly original retelling of Guinevere and Arthur's love story, perfect for fans of Outlander.
