[The book blends] Celtic mystery, magic, romance, and spiritual growth, with dark-age dangers, intrigue, and lust for revenge. A unique and refreshing take on the Arthurian story. Follow it with your heart." E.M. Swift-Hook, co-author of the Dai and Julia alternate history mysteries."Sex, magic, and power collide in this [Urban] Fantasy that begins when a devastating terrorist attack on modern London sparks the long-foretold return of King Arthur to heal Britain. Simonds boldly continues the Arthurian saga into the present day, as heirs to Arthur, Merlin, and the woman both men once loved struggle to understand and fulfill their destinies and outwit the sinister agenda of the sorceress Morgaine." Lisa Jensen, author of Alias Hook and Beast: A Love Story"Imaginative, mesmerizing, and emotionally complex, Simonds' unique story boldly expands the Arthurian legend into exciting new territory. The fantastical elements-rituals from old Celtic religions, dark magic, forces of fate-are well drawn and skillfully integrated into a contemporary setting. And then there's the romance... the palpable chemistry between Ava and Ron (the Arthur heir), complicated by their respective destinies, makes their relationship a riveting read."
