IN A LAND OF KNIGHTS AND KINGS, TWO WOMEN WILL REWRITE THE RULES OF LOVE AND MAGIC
A spellbinding sapphic reimagining of the myths of Camelot from award-winning historian and YouTube sensation Jean Menzies.
--
When Lady Viviane leaves the lakes of the far North for the splendour of Camelot, she knows the destiny her father has planned for her. To capture the heart and hand of the young prince, Arthur. To bring her family richness and glory.
But it is Arthur's sister Morgan who captures Viviane's eye. Fierce and headstrong, Morgan sees another path - one she and Viviane can carve for themselves in this world built for knights and kings.
Now everything has shifted and changed. Under the guidance of the court sorcerer Merlin, she discovers magical powers within herself. And before long, she finds her friendship with Morgan deepening to the first flush of love.
But in Camelot, eyes are everywhere and no one is as they seem.
The quest for power breeds darkness and danger, and when Arthur pulls the legendary sword from the stone and rises to King, his closest allies will ask terrible things of Viviane and Morgan - striving to tear them apart for their own ends.
And if they cannot find their way back to each other, Camelot itself could fall . . .

Wonderfully unique arthurian retelling
Dr Jean Menzies delivers a new and exciting twist on the old arthurian legends! Told entirely from the perspective of Viviane (also known as Nimue or The Lady Of The Lake), we get to follow her character from youth to adulthood and watch her slowly discover her magic and forge relationships to the other inhabitants of Camelot (especially Morgan). I found the book incredibly well researched, with small references to stories and characters from the original arthurian legends, but also new and refreshing with the focus on it's fierce female characters. The writing flowed very nicely but some sentences felt oddly modern at times, although it didn't bother me too much. I felt deeply immersed in the fantastical world of Camelot and found myself sharing both sorrow and joy with Viviane throughout her story. The sweet slow burn romance with Morgan was an added bonus, that was also done beautifully. All in all the story was truly enchanting and I enjoyed it greatly.
