Camelot's Queen

Guinevere's Tale, Book 2

De: Nicole Evelina

Narrado por: Serena Scott Thomas

History remembers Guinevere's sin, but it was Arthur who transgressed first.

Forced into a marriage she neither anticipated nor desired, Guinevere finds herself High Queen, ruling and fighting alongside Arthur as they try to subdue the Saxons, Irish, and Picts who threaten Britain from every direction. Though her heart still longs for her lost love, Guinevere slowly grows to care for her husband as they join together to defeat their enemies.

Meanwhile, within the walls of Camelot their closest allies plot against them. One schemes to make Guinevere his own, another seeks revenge for past transgressions, while a third fixes her eyes on the throne. When the unthinkable happens and Guinevere is feared dead, Arthur installs a new woman in her place, one who will poison his affections toward her, threatening Guinevere's fragile sanity and eventually driving her into the arms of her champion.

Amid this tension a new challenge arises for the king and queen of Camelot: finding the Holy Grail, a sacred relic that promises lasting unity. But peace, as they will soon learn, can be just as dangerous as war. As the court begins to turn on itself, it becomes clear that the quest that was to be Arthur's lasting legacy may end in the burning fires of condemnation.

This highly anticipated sequel to Daughter of Destiny proves there is much more to Guinevere's story than her marriage and an affair. See the legend you think you know through her eyes and live the adventure of Camelot's golden days yourself - but prepared to suffer its downfall as well.

Great story.. new way to look at Camelot stories

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the
author, narrator, or publisher.

the narration was great and it provided a new outlook on the Camelot stories..with some nice twists

Eloquent as Ever

I'm fairly certain I enjoyed this book even better than the first one and I believe I gave that one five out of five stars. I was really happy to have it deal in PTSD and the other difficult topics because I hadn't experienced that reading Arthurian fiction much.
A lot more sympathy for Guinevere than with other stories of her and Lancelot.

BEST TALE ABOUT GUINEVERE BY FAR!

BOOK 2 and just as good if not better than book one. The tale continued, I couldn't put it down and when I did it was only for a moment because I couldn't think of anything else but Guinevere. Now I'm going through withdrawals and really need book 3. This book is beautifully written just like the first. I love the way Nicole Evelina's story of Guinevere!

A Must Read

I was voluntarily provided this book via audiobook boom. The story of Camelot came alive for me through this book. It reminded me so much of the movie with Sean Connley as Arthur. I have read many stories and accounts about these characters but this one was very well done. The narrator was the perfect choice for this book. If you thought you knew the story of Camelot get prepared to have a fresh look.

The Sad Tale of Guinevere!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this Audiobook to anyone. It is an interesting take on Guinevere's life. I would have wanted something better for Guinevere though. The Author does a great job of expressing Guinevere as a really good person that went through a terrible life.

What other book might you compare Camelot's Queen to and why?

This reminds me of Lady fortune by Anne Stuart or Daughter of the Forrest by Juliet Marillier. The life and love of a famous lady. I really wanted to go and save Guinevere myself.

Have you listened to any of Serena Scott Thomas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She did a great job. She really brings the listener into the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The utter betrayal when she was to be burned alive. That moved me. I felt for her situation. She did not deserve that.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I received this Audiobook for free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an unbiased review.
Thank you!
