About the Book

Picture
I, Guinevere
by C.K. Brooke
Genre: YA Fantasy, Arthurian Mythology, Retellings
Release date: October 15th 2018

Summary:

If you think you know the story of King Arthur and his mythical sword, think again. Your legends have it wrong.

Here’s the truth: I was never married to Arthur, and he wasn’t a king. Because Arthur never pulled that sword out of the stone. I did.

I, Guinevere.

On the winter solstice, a mysterious sword in a stone appears in the churchyard. Not even the mightiest of the village men can remove it, until fifteen-year-old Guinevere gives it a try. The sword heeds the unsuspecting maiden, proclaiming the unthinkable: she is the blood of Pendrakon, heir to the vacant throne of Camylot.

Guinevere never dreamed she was born royalty. Now, between apprenticing the eccentric wizard, Merlyn; swordplay lessons with an abrasive—albeit, attractive—boy named Lance; and clandestine, magical meetings with the formidable High Priestess of Avalon, Guinevere is swept up in a whirlwind of training and preparation for her monumental new role as future queen. But invasions by the barbarous Saxyns and visitations from mysterious dark forces continually warn that she may be in over her head. Can Guinevere defend the kingdom from the darkness and deception that threaten to seize it? Despite her doubts and the sinister forces working against her, can she harness the power to wield Exkalibur and rule the realm? Or is Camylot already destined to fall?

From the unstoppable pen of C.K. Brooke comes a fresh and unforgettable new retelling seeped in Arthurian mythology. Queen Guinevere has her own tale to share, and it's nothing like what you thought! Experience the magic and myth of Camylot, Avalon, Merlyn, and Exkalibur like never before as, in the vein of Brooke's award-winning Secrets of Artemis, this legendary maiden of lore recounts her side of the story.

Read an Excerpt

If you think you know the story of King Arthur and his mythical sword, think again. Your legends have it wrong. They’ve been adapted to suit your history and geography through the ages, as your scribes saw fit. Hardly any of it is true.

The real story originated much longer ago—and farther away—than you might imagine. And as the men of your world recorded it, they bent and altered my tale to their fancies until it became naught but utter fiction.

Here’s the truth: I was never married to Arthur, and he wasn’t a king. His sister Morgan was once my favorite and closest companion. As for Lancelot, Exkalibur, and Merlyn...well, I won’t give away my whole account just yet.

The only fact you seem to have correct is that I was Queen of Camylot. Because Arthur never pulled that sword out of the stone. I did.

I, Guinevere.
