Perfect for you if...

You love Arthurian retellings that centre the female lead instead of treating her as a love interest's problem.
You want romance with real stakes: court intrigue, magic on the wane, and a husband who hides his feelings behind coldness.
You're drawn to stories where the heroine has to figure things out without a map, trusting her gut over prophecy.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer traditional Arthurian canon and don't want major reimagining of who Guinevere really was.
You're looking for fast-paced action; this focuses more on political intrigue and emotional discovery than battles.
You need a protagonist who knows who she is from page one; Vera's amnesia-driven uncertainty might frustrate you.

About this book

Vera, a 22-year-old waitress grieving a failed relationship, is approached by a mysterious man who claims she was once Queen Guinevere of Camelot and that her lost memories hold the key to changing both past and present. Skeptical but drawn to the possibility of a new direction, she agrees to learn more about her supposed past life. After traveling through a portal in Glastonbury, Vera finds herself in a magical kingdom cursed to lose its power each day. She struggles to perform her duties as queen while navigating complex relationships: a fast friendship with Lancelot that sparks court gossip, a distant husband she barely knows, and King Arthur—cold and forbidding in public, yet leaving her secret tokens of affection. Much of what Vera believed about Camelot proves false, and her memories remain elusive. As the kingdom's magic fades, Vera must rely on instinct to save Camelot, while Arthur must learn to trust her. This retelling of Arthurian legend centers the queen's perspective and agency in a story of magic, destiny, and courtly intrigue. This deluxe limited edition paperback features stenciled edges, cover effects, designed interiors, and inside cover printing.
