"Fascinating. . . . Kiersten White has taken the best parts of the Arthurian legend and made them all her own."--Renée Ahdieh; #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn series. A new fantasy series set in the world of Camelot that bestselling author Christina Lauren calls "brilliant;" reimagining the Arthurian legend . . . where nothing is 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? *THE FIRST BOOK IN THE CAMELOT RISING TRILOGY* "A rare and enviable mix of impeccable writing; heart-stopping action; lush scenery; and complex; relatable characters . . . brilliant!" --New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren "Stunning. . . . will leave every reader hungry for more." --Somaiya Daud; author of the Mirage series
