Guinevere

Guinevere Trilogy, Volume 1.

Guinevere recounts a side of the familiar Arthurian tales that has never been told before. It is the enchanting story of Guinevere's childhood as she grows up in a world in transition between the old ways and the new. Surrounded by all of the magic and fantasy of Old Britain. Guinevere is pulled toward the world of the old gods by the tragic, mythical beast, the Unicorn, who patiently guards her from harm, awaiting the moment when their mystical love can briefly unite them. But the young Arthur, deeply in love with Guinevere, envisions a new Britain, based on modern laws and Christian ideals, and Guinevere must choose between her heritage and her destiny. Sharan Newman's Guinevere provides a new understanding of the woman whose unearthly beauty tragically and unalterably transformed all she came near.
