The Once and Future Queen - Arthurian legend meets time travel in this sweeping romantic fantasy

Vera would have been happy to spend the rest of her days washing bed sheets and cleaning toilets in present-day Glastonbury. But when the strange new guest at her hotel reveals himself to be Merlin and tells her that she is Queen Guinevere, and that she must travel back in time with him to 7th-century Camelot, where she is married to the legendary King Arthur. As the sole witness to a curse that''s draining the kingdom of its magic, Vera must retrieve her memories as Queen Guinevere to save the Kingdom. With Camelot''s peace ebbing ever closer to shattering, the clock is ticking. As Vera is about to discover, in a world of legend and power, the secrets of her memories are only the beginning.
