 | Title: By Camelot's Blood Author: Sarah Zettel Publisher: Prologue Books Pages: 339 Synopsis: (from the publisher) An evocative and highly engaging romantic fantasy set in the evocative time of King Arthur. Laurel Carnbrea, Queen of Cambryn, arrives at Camelot to marry a man she has never met - Sir Agravain, the brother of the renowned Sir Gawain. Laurel has heard that Agravain is a reserved and cold man, but marriage to King Arthur's nephew will give vital protection to her own lands. However, before the marriage can be consummated, Laurel's new husband receives news that his father, King Lot, is dying, and he must return to his homeland of Gododdin in the north. King Lot has been mad for many years - tormented by the sorceress Morgaine, Arthur's half-sister and deadliest enemy. Agravain and Laurel arrived to find the land of Gododdin in disarray and under threat of invasion from the Picts - led by Morgain. Laurel has powers of her own, inherited from her grandmother, the Sea, and is prepared to use them to save the land of the new husband she is learning to love. By pitting herself against Morgaine she will face the gravest danger; and Agravain risks losing the woman who has finally managed to reach his heart. |
Hooray for e-books! On a
whim I was poking around Amazon and happened to come across the entire quartet
for only $3 each. I own the first three in the series so I eagerly bought the
last one so that I could continue my reviews. I will get around to For Camelot’s Honor eventually.
There seems to be some
discrepancy about the names of the books in this series. One set of editions
are simply titled ‘Camelot’s ---’, another set with slightly longer titles.
Hence, this book is either titled By
Camelot’s Blood or just Camelot’s
Blood. Likewise this series is alternately known as “Paths to Camelot” or
the “Two Ravens Saga”. Why this is, I can’t tell.
Warning for Spoilers
