At age twenty-four, King Arthur has the kingdom he fought for – and a new young family. But keeping the throne of Britain – and keeping his wife and two sons safe – proves far from easy.

There are two enemies who threaten everything that is dear to him: Winifred, Arthur's vindictive first wife, who is determined to use the fledgling Christian church to ensure succession for her own son; and Morgause, priestess of the Mother and malevolent Queen of the North.

To complicate matters, tragedy strikes just when Arthur needs Gwenhwyfar most, putting their passionate relationship on precarious ground. It promises to take all of Arthur's strength, courage, and cunning to secure his birthright and the confidence of his queen.
