From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes a
new fantasy series reimagining the Arthurian legend, set in the magical
world of Camelot . . . . There was nothing in the world as magical and
terrifying as a girl.
Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the
charismatic King Arthur. With magic clawing at the kingdom's borders,
the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution--send in Guinevere to be
Arthur's wife . . . and his protector from those who want to see the
young king's idyllic city fail. The catch? Guinevere's real name--and
her true identity--is a secret. She is a changeling, a girl who has
given up everything to protect Camelot.
To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the
old--including Arthur's own family--demand things continue as they have
been, and the new--those drawn by the dream of Camelot--fight for a
better way to live. And always, in the green hearts of forests and the
black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land.
Deadly jousts, duplicitous knights, and forbidden romances are nothing
compared to the greatest threat of all: the girl with the long black
hair, riding on horseback through the dark woods toward Arthur. Because
when your whole existence is a lie, how can you trust even yourself?
