Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country (Guenevere, #1)

Rosalind Miles

3.57/5 (3599 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

In the best-selling tradition of The Mists of Avalon, Guenevere: Queen of the Summer Country is a magical, bold retelling of the Arthurian legend, as seen through the eyes of Queen Guenevere. Rich in historical detail and full of passion, Guenevere shimmers with all the romance and chivalry of Camelot, but with a feminist sensibility. In Rosalind Miles's novel, Guenevere is a true heroine -- of her own time and of ours. She is courageous, beautiful, and decidedly stronger, wiser, and more resolute than her husband, King Arthur.The familiar cast of characters remains intact, from Arthur's half-sister Morgan le Fay, who practices the arts of black magic and nurtures a venomous hatred of Guenevere and Arthur, to the half-mad and power-obsessed Merlin, who schemes to maintain his influence over the glorious kingdom born of the marriage of Guenevere and Arthur. And, of course, there is Lancelot, the pure and noble young knight who forces Guenevere to choose between her king and her heart.
