The Knight of the Sacred Lake
Last in a line of proud queens elected to rule the fertile lands of the West, true owner of the legendary Round Table, guardian of the Great Goddess herself . . . a woman whose story has never been told--until now. As High King and Queen, Arthur and Guenevere reign supreme across the many kingdoms of Great Britain. Still, Guenevere secretly mourns the loss of her beloved Lancelot, who has returned to the Sacred Lake of his boyhood, hoping to restore his faith in chivalry in the place where he learned to be a knight. In a glittering Pentecost ceremony, new knights are sworn to the Round Table, including Arthur's nephews, Agravain and Gawain. After many years of strife, peace is restored to Guenevere's realm. But betrayal, jealousy, and ancient blood feuds fester unseen. Morgan Le Fay, now the mother of Arthur's only son, Mordred, has become the focus of Merlin's age-old quest to ensure the survival of the house of Pendragon. From the east comes the shattering news that Guenevere may have a rival for Lancelot's love. A bleak shadow falls again across Camelot--and across the sacred isle of Avalon, where Roman priests threaten the life of the Lady herself. At the center of the storm is Guenevere, torn between her love for her husband, her people, and Sir Lancelot of the Lake. With rare and intuitive magic, Rosalind Miles brings to life a legendary woman's bravery and passion, and all the pageantry, heartbreak, violence, and beauty of an age gone by.
The Knight of the Sacred Lake
Camelot, and Arthur and Guenevere are holding a glittering feast to celebrate their knights of the Round Table. But amid the joy of the ceremony, one key figure is absent. Sir Lancelot du Lac has left court, sent away by Guenevere, who is tormented by a love for him she may neither honour nor deny. But her efforts to bury her forbidden passion and commit herself again to Arthur are threatened by the malice of Morgan le Fay, hurself nursing an illicit love for Arthur. Now the proud mother of Arthur's only son, Morgan has also become the focus of Merlin's age-old quest to ensure the survival of the house of Pendragon. But unknown to all at Camelot, the old order is threatened by the determination of the Christians to destroy the worship of the Goddess, and secure the Sacred Hallows of Avalon for their own use. As Guenevere struggles to reconcile duty and destiny, Lancelot is torn by conflicting loyalties to his Queen and King. Guenevere holds staunchly to her faith in her knight. But can she endure his absence, and the shattering news that she has a rival for his love?
The Child of the Holy Grail
Last in a line of proud queens elected to rule the fertile lands of the West, true owner of the legendary Round Table, guardian of the Great Goddess herself . . . a woman whose story has never been told—until now. Brokenhearted at her parting from Lancelot and anguished over the loss of the sacred Hallows of the Goddess, Guenevere reconciles with Arthur. But their fragile peace is threatened by a new presence at Camelot. Mordred, Arthur’s son by Morgan Le Fay, has come to be proclaimed heir to Guenevere and Arthur’s kingdoms. At his knighting, the great Round Table, owned by the Queens of the Summer Country since time immemorial, cracks down the center and a terrible darkness falls over Camelot. In the midst of the chaos appears a new knight, Sir Galahad, who may hold the key to the mystery of the stolen Hallows. His arrival sets into motion the Quest for the Holy Grail and the fall of Camelot, which brings Guenevere to the brink of the most dreaded tragedy of all . . . and may ultimately fulfill her destiny as the greatest Queen of the Isles.
