Produktbeschreibung
Merlin's sword in the stone has stood for three years in Dark Age Viroconium. Can Gwen get her husband there to draw it and set him on the road to becoming the king of legend? Gwen, a girl from the twenty-first century, was kidnapped back in time to become King Arthur's Queen Guinevere in book one, The Dragon Ring. In book two, The Bear's Heart, she presented Arthur with his heir. But a dark cloud hangs over her son's birth, and she can't be sure Arthur believes the baby is his, nor even if he still loves her. With a head full of the Arthurian legends told by her father, Gwen knows both too much and too little. She's a girl from her husband's future keeping all she knows a secret - out of fear some of it could be true. However, she also fears that if it isn't, revealing her suspicions could be the one thing that might make everything she's afraid of happen. And she loves Arthur too much to let him die at Camlann. The Sword takes Gwen from her hilltop home of Din Cadan. For love, she follows her husband north to the old Roman Wall and the town of Vindolanda, then beyond the Wall into dangerous enemy territory. She has to leave behind the quiet librarian she once was and discover her inner warrior queen, as she sees the battles her husband is famous for unfold before her eyes. And at Viroconium, the sword is waiting for the only man who can draw it from the stone. Guinevere The Dragon Ring The Bear's Heart The Sword
Autorenporträt
Fil Reid lives four miles from the sea in Cornwall with her husband and a rescue dog from Romania called Bella. Her books have been published by Dragonblade in the US since she won their Write Stuff competition. Her first six books comprise the Guinevere series - an innovative retelling of the Arthurian legend from the point of view of a modern origin Guinevere. Her short stories have been shortlisted in several competitions and won a few prizes. She has a new series set in Cornwall coming out this year, starting with The Cornish Mermaid.Apart from writing, the great love of her life has always been horses, and when she was younger she worked with them for a number of years - on the stud attached to Highclere Castle (where Downton Abbey was filmed), as a stable girl in a flat racing yard (when she was young, brave and thin), and in a riding school. She also ran her own riding school when her children were small.She speaks fluent French after having lived there for ten years, after which she lived on a widebeam canal boat before her move to Cornwall. One of the things she loves to do is to visit the sites she uses in her stories. However, she has acrophobia, a morbid fear of heights, so one or two places are out of reach to her. Too scary!She's been fascinated by all things Arthurian since she was a small child and saw the Disney film The Sword in the Stone, but didn't find out until she was an adult that she has Asperger's Syndrome (as do two of her sons). She now believes her ASD accounts for her obsessions with both horses and King Arthur.
