The luscious sapphic Camelot retelling from the award winning writer and historian, Jean Menzies.

'A fierce, luminous, and captivating reimagining of Arthurian legend' Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen

When Lady Viviane leaves the lakes of the far North for the splendour of Camelot, she knows the destiny her father has planned for her. To capture the heart and hand of the young prince, Arthur. To bring her family richness and glory.

But it is Arthur's sister Morgan who captures Viviane's eye. Fierce and headstrong, Morgan sees another path - one she and Viviane can carve for themselves in this world built for knights and kings.

But in this kingdom no one is as they seem. And when Arthur pulls the legendary sword from the stone, his closest allies will do all they can to tear Viviane and Morgan apart.

Can their love survive the dark forces at work in Camelot...?
