Ratings and reviews

I don't love him that way! Gwen is betrothed to Arthur! "... Betrayal, jealousy, and death have always been a part of my future.... I'm the almost Queen....". She loves him, but not in the way she should love man she is to marry. Lancelot is Arthur's best friend and "... I'm going to be his most trustworthy knight....". First they have to break the prophecy! If Gwen betrays Arthur it will start the prophecy. Can they avoid this prophecy? This sweet retelling of the story of Arthur and Guinevere answers this question and bring surprises to all!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Betrothed to one, but in love with another. Sounds familiar? It should, but then perhaps it is time to change the tune. This is book ten in this series which combines classic tales with an academy setting. Each book is written as a standalone, so it is not necessary to read them in order, although you will be missing a bit of the setting background. The story is well written and easy to read, and it is fun to watch characters that are familiar tell entirely new stories. The setting and cha

Gwen, Arthur and Lancelot have been best friends forever. Gwen and Arthur have been betrothed to each other since birth and Lancelot has been tasked with protecting Arthur. They are now attending Grimm Academy to both learn skills that they will need in the future and because they are involved in a prophecy. For Gwen, the prophecy would mean her death on a pyre. For Arthur and Lancelot, it would mean a war between them. The three, along with Gwen's friend Dindrane are hoping to be able to thwart the prophecy and perhaps they can if they can figure out what starts it. Read to see if they succeed.
