ABOUT THE BOOK The gorgeous final chapter in the critically-acclaimed female-led Arthurian Fantasy Romance trilogy “The first born of Arthur will bring his end.” When the high priestess Vyvian du Lac dies, Morgen le Fay—acolyte to the priestess, midwife to queens, apprentice to Merlin—is left mysteriously bereft of magic. She finds herself transported to the wild, ancient forest of Brocéliande, which she must cross—and survive—to save Carelon from disaster. And death itself, it seems, is close on her heels. Morgen’s daughter Llachlyn, her cousin Sir Galahad and their friend, the squire Percival, share a vision of the mysterious graal. Mawra—Arthur’s jealous, spiteful queen, with ambitions on the graal of her own—threatens to send Llachlyn to a nunnery, but with Galahad’s help she and Percival escape north to her cousin Sir Gawain’s home. Gawain and Hwyfar, who have spent ten peaceful years away from court in a forbidden marriage, are now swept back into the secrets, lies and politics of Carelon.

My protector is gone, revealed to be a monster. But I remind myself that I am not a damsel. I’m no princess bound within a tower. I am a shadow.
