Okay, everyone knows the legend of King Arthur and as this is yet another book on the legend I won't bore you with a brief plot outline!

This has everything the other books have - love; lust; betrayal; magic and the most famous love triangle of all time!

However, McKenzie has a great flair for story-telling and at last we have a Guinevere that has more to her than just a pretty face!

The central character of Guinevere is actually the second wife of Arthur who married another Guinevere before this one. So the guy has a thing for Guineveres!!

The book has a very Celtic feel and McKenzie obviously has done a great deal of research to get this book as accurate as possible.

There are some original twists on the legend which give it a much needed breath of fresh air.

If you've read the likes of 'Mists Of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer Bradley and enjoyed it then this is a definite must for you!
