About this ebook

Their every encounter gives off sparks of contempt and misunderstanding.

Bedivere is one of King Arthur’s companions, his marshall and war duke of his army. Handsome, remote, traditional and honor-bound, all he wants is to be a perfect warrior and serve Arthur. Only, Arthur’s people face another dark winter of deprivation and defeat at the hands of the ruthless Saxons. How can Bedivere find victory for Arthur when there is no hope?

Cara of Brynaich is half-Saxon, the younger daughter of a reviled family. Her facial scars keep her apart from everyone. Her heart holds only hatred for the Saxons who betrayed her mother, murdered her father and brought her and her kin to such misery. She has no time for honor and tradition. Hope is for blind fools.

She brings chaos into Bedivere’s life, while his cool indifference provokes her to ever greater excesses. When the Saxons scent the weakness of Arthur’s defenses and descend upon Mount Badon, Bedivere and Cara must find a way to fight them and not each other…

Praise for Battle of Mount Badon:

Cara and Bedivere are my favorite characters in this series, and their relationship is cast in monochrome, with stark pragmatism. I never had to suspend my belief to relate to these characters, which is the highest praise I can give an author.

Fantastic story!! This one kept my heart rate up! Every time I thought I could relax, there was another fast paced plot twist

I absolutely adore the magnificently happy ending!!

I'm not sure how she does it, but Tracy continues to make each story more exciting than the last! I can't stop reading these, even when I should be sleeping!

I was fascinated by the way the author wove in so many names and places and events from both the legends and historians’ best speculations on actual happenings. Yet the story also flows along with great characters and a compelling plot. It’s one of those wonderful novels that make you feel you are really there in a foreign time and place, and you feel a little smarter when you finish.

Detailed, stunning, and completing engrossing. A telling of this tale that puts you directly in the action and engaged in the struggle yourself. Absolutely brilliant!!

I have loved this series from the beginning and don't understand how she keeps topping the one before. But, she did it again. Tracy writes in such a way as to make you feel like YOU are living in this time In history.

This story left me breathless and speechless. It is so much more than the book blurb promises!

I feel like I have actually met the characters and the scenes are set so completely that I feel that I am actually present during the action.

Very few authors can write so you get completely caught up in the story but Tracy Cooper-Posey is definitely at the top of that list.

Incredibly engaging story that will leave you on the edge of your seat, and flipping the pages. This is well developed and beautifully written.

This Book Rocks! It is difficult to find the words that will do justice to this novel. Absolutely brilliant!

Tracy Cooper Posey is a totally engaging storyteller who grabs hold of you and delivers you into the story from the first word. I feel like I have actually met the characters and the scenes are set so completely that I feel that I am actually present during the action.

Ratings and reviews

Incredibly engaging story that will leave you on the edge of your seat, and flipping the pages. This is well developed and beautifully written. This is an story that I found myself easy to escape in. I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.

Another great book from Tracey Cooper-Posey! “The Battle of Mount Badon” follows the war between Britons and Saxons with another exciting adventure and another not to be missed love story. Arthur established his leadership and is being pressured to marry to ensure an heir will continue his dynasty. At the same time, constant Saxon attacks create chaos and destruction all over the country. Venta Belgarum is one of the last cities standing, receiving refugees from the northern areas but also under constant threat. Among the fighters there is Cara, a fierce warrior with a Saxon mother and battle scars that make her wary of human contact. But she does not escape the attention of the war duke, Bedivere that looks beyond those traits to see the fearless woman. Perils, adventures and many hardships ensue and this couple must fight through all that to survive. I would recommend that the series be read in order so that it can be fully appreciated. Having said that, each installment can be read easily as a stand-alone without much confusion and this one is certainly the case. Definitely a great story, very well told and that will keep you reading page after page, griping with anxiety! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
