This is Zettel's third book in her Camelot series in which we learn the stories of some of the more peripheral characters in Arthurian legend. After her father's murder by her own brother, Lynet journeys to Camelot to beg the queen's assistance in restoring order to her homeland. I didn't enjoy this story as much as the first two, but it's still worth a read, especially if you enjoy retellings of ancient tales. no reviews | add a review

The path to Camelot never runs smooth... When war threatens the kingdom of Camliard, sisters Lynet and Laurel find themselves in the heart of the darkening crisis, with only one way to restore peace. While her older sister remains as a hostage, Lynet must bring back the last heir of Camliard's ancient royal house -- the High Queen Guinevere. But Lynet's quest is not an easy one. In Camelot, she must deal with politics of court as well as country. One ally is Gareth, youngest brother of the brilliant Sir Gawain, who aches to achieve knighthood and fame by his own hand. But Gareth soon finds this quest is no game, and that Lynet is no maid to be toyed with. With the machinations of the sorceress Morgaine threatening their future, only Lynet and Gareth's strength and love can save the queen's hereditary kingdom from a tangled web of magic, treachery and war. And that strength is failing... No library descriptions found. |

Before leaving Laurel gives Lynet a magic silver mirror that was their mothers. She was a daughter of the sea (one of the morverch) who fell in love with a mortal man and her children have certain abilities. As always there is a price to pay for using such a gift which lets Lynet see beyond the shadows.
Whilst in Camelot Lynet meets Squire Gareth who is a ladies man and rake in service to Sir Lancelot. Something in her attracts his attention in a way different to other women. She is able to give him asecond chance to redeem herself after he is humiliated in front of the whole court for his actions with the ladies. They must move quickly though as Morgaine has many schemes in motion to bring down her hated brother Arthur and his Queen Guinevere who is from the same land as her.
A great mixture of myth, fantasy and romance. This is so far my favourite of the series. I loved Lynet, Laurel and Gareth. I am really interested to see how things work out in the final novel. Of course I know how the story ends for the King and Queen, but not as much has been told of the four brothers. ( )
