Outlander-meets-The Princess BrideΒ plusΒ CamelotΒ in a fresh, big-hearted, feminist, timeslip adventure reimagining the epic saga of King Arthur, as told from the perspective of his spunky and surprising queen, Vera β complete with time travel and good running shoes!
Vera always knew she didnβt fit in. When she learns that she is meant to be in another time, she leaps at the chance to embrace a new life in a world of valor, intrigue, and unexpected magic in this bold and romantic retelling of Arthurian legend . . .
22-year-old Vera is at a crossroads: waiting tables, grieving her previous relationship, and jogging aimlessly each morning as if toward an uncertain future. Then an odd man shows up at her workplace, insisting that she was once the legendary Queen Guinevere of Camelot, and that her lost memories hold the key to changing both the past and the present. Somehow, it all feels like the direction sheβs been looking for. But when she asks the mysterious man to tell her more about Lancelot, Arthur, and a faithless queen, he can only say that much of what sheβs heard about Camelot is wrong. The truth, he claims, is something she must see for herself.
After jumping through a portal in Glastonburyβs historic center, Vera is not prepared for what she finds. Magic is everywhere, but a curse on the kingdom means it dwindles every day. She has no idea how to perform a queenβs duties. Her fast friendship with Lancelot sets gossip flowing, and the stranger she must call βhusbandβ often refuses to meet her eye. Arthur is a puzzle: cold, forbidding, and, while angry to her face, keeps leaving secret tokens of tenderness in her chambers. Worst of all, Veraβs memoriesβand the answers locked within themβshow no signs of returning. If Vera is truly destined to save Camelot, sheβll have to trust her instincts. And her king will have to trust her . . .
