In this swashbuckling, feminist timeslip retelling of Arthurian legend complete with a 21st century queen, Merlin lore, magic potions, dashing knights, daring maidens, heart wrenching romance, and just the right amount of snark, England’s Once and Future Queen Vera must save Camelot as dark forces threaten the kingdom.

***DELUXE LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER with stenciled edges, a beautiful foil-stamped hardcover, exclusive interior design with full-color illustrated endpapers***


Vera never wanted to be Camelot's queen. One day, she was a 21st-century waitress struggling to find a sense of purpose, and the next, she was ripped back to 7th-century England, where she is Queen Guinevere—loved by King Arthur, befriended by Sir Lancelot, and suddenly responsible for a kingdom balanced on the edge of ruin.
Sir Gawain is missing, and his powerful magic-detecting device is nowhere to be found. Sir Percival is minding the throne, doing his best to ignore the many nagging questions of the court. And Arthur, the king destined to unite Britain, has been murdered. Almost.

After awakening an incredible healing gift within herself, Vera revives Arthur from the brink of death, setting her on a course to uncover a chain of secrets about the kingdom's power and the real reason for her own return to Camelot.

Now Arthur must hide in the shadows—even from Merlin—lest his enemies learn the truth. For Camelot is under siege. Vera and the Knights of the Round Table are preparing for war against the high council of mages, who seek to control not just the realm, but all its magic too.

As enemies close in and betrayal lurks around every corner, Vera must decide what kind of queen she'll be: a woman trapped by the fate written in legend—or the ruler willing to sacrifice everything to change the stars.

Keeper of the Grail continues the Lives of Guinevere saga, a sweeping story of adventure, fierce love, and a heroine determined to rewrite the legend itself.
