Vera always knew she didnât fit in. When she learns that she is meant to be in another time, she leaps at the chance to embrace a new life in a world of valor, intrigue, and unexpected magic in this bold and romantic retelling of Arthurian legend . . .
22-year-old Vera is at a crossroads: waiting tables, grieving her previous relationship, and jogging aimlessly each morning as if toward an uncertain future. Then an odd man shows up at her workplace, insisting that she was once the legendary Queen Guinevere of Camelot, and that her lost memories hold the key to changing both the past and the present. Somehow, it all feels like the direction sheâs been looking for. But when she asks the mysterious man to tell her more about Lancelot, Arthur, and a faithless queen, he can only say that much of what sheâs heard about Camelot is wrong. The truth, he claims, is something she must see for herself.
After jumping through a portal in Glastonburyâs historic center, Vera is not prepared for what she finds. Magic is everywhere, but a curse on the kingdom means it dwindles every day. She has no idea how to perform a queenâs duties. Her fast friendship with Lancelot sets gossip flowing, and the stranger she must call âhusbandâ often refuses to meet her eye. Arthur is a puzzle: cold, forbidding, and, while angry to her face, keeps leaving secret tokens of tenderness in her chambers. Worst of all, Veraâs memoriesâand the answers locked within themâshow no signs of returning. If Vera is truly destined to save Camelot, sheâll have to trust her instincts. And her king will have to trust her . . .
