Publisher's summary

A love triangle made legend... A chance to rewrite the stars.

Lancelot

I spent my life in service to my king, loyal to my queen, and loved by them both. Until she ruined me.

Guinevere made her choice, and it wasn’t me. So, I sought out a way to fight the pain of losing her...of losing them both. Eternally languishing in purgatory was not what I had in mind.

But now, hundreds of years later, I’ve been returned to life for a reason. The end times are here, and I’m the one chosen to help stop the apocalypse. I only wish the woman I’m bound to wasn’t the very one I’d tried to forget.

My Gwen had a secret she never shared in our past life together. She’s a witch, cursed to live forever, and she’s never forgiven me for what happened between us.

I am Lancelot du Lac. I was her champion once, I will be again, and this time, I won’t so willingly share.

Brooks

I never wanted to share Gwen, not with anyone, and definitely not with Lancelot. But now that he’s gone and the truth about my past has been revealed, everything is different.

I used to be a king. I lived my life shrouded by a lie. Afraid to take the love I desperately wanted - love from my queen as well as my knight. That fear is the reason I lost both of them. This is my second chance to be the man Gwen needs, to take up Excalibur and stop the apocalypse, and to finally accept who I truly am.

I am Arthur Pendragon, at least, I was. In our past, I broke both Gwen and Lancelot. But this time, I’ll be the hero they each deserve.

do it again

The story is a retelling of the characters from the ages-old Camelot: Guinevere, Arthur & Lancelot but with such a great twist it felt new and refreshing while still playing upon the traditions of the legend. The book is technically number 3 in Loraine's "The Siren Coven" series but I didn't feel lost to the overall story arc as the main characters from the initial books were woven in very well to Guinevere and Lancelot's story. The flaming heat I love in contemporary romance is found between the "lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers" chronicle and when the additional character of Brooks enters the scene the flames get even hotter!!

With so many characters one would think the narration would be difficult to follow, but that is not the case with fantastic performances by Kylie Stewart & Shane East. Ms. Stewart's Guinevere cam through clearly as passionate and determined to resolve not only her present circumstance of missing powers but to find balance with her heart's desire for her lost love Lancelot. Whilst mainly speaking for Guinevere, Stewart's other personalities had a life of their own that were distinguishable and fun to hear.

Mr. East ...... need I say more? Seriously though, there was a video and an audio clip of his narration before pre-ordering began that sparked my interest in this book. The stubborn nature of Lancelot, his desire for Guinevere even after centuries apart, and the growling nature of passion all add up to a burning narration that you cannot stop playing.

Love This

This book was beautifully written and delicious in audio. I loved this story as a duet but even more so in one. This author is an auto one-click for me, and the narrators are as well.

Love this MORE than the ebook!

This was such an amazing dual narration!! I read the ebook and loved it - and now with the narration and the amazing accents- it’s better than before! Great job

Amazing Duet!

This is an amazing boxed set! Wow! This is one of the best MMF Romance I have read. This is a fantastic story, really beautifully written. The storyline is suspenseful, captivating, intriguing and SO sexy! The chemistry between Gwen, Lance and Brooks is like fire. I really loved their story and their happy ending. I miss them already. If you like paranormal romance, and MMF stories, you will love this duet. Bravo! Now, I can't wait for Gabriel and Ruby's story! Kylie Stewart and Shane East did an amazing job with the narration. I highly recommend The Siren Coven Series. I love Kim Loraine's writing.

Loved it

My favorite of the series. I found it incredibly sweet and touching when Lancelot, Brooks and Guinevere finally came together. I wasn't expecting Guinevere to be such a saucy character given how she was portrayed in the first books and was pleasantly surprised at how she developed along side her knight and king.

The narrators were amazing as well. All books should be narrated in duet, it offers a way more immersive experience for the listener.

What an excellent end to the series!

Spoiler - there is MMF and MM romance in the book. If it is not your thing, pass on this.

When an author writes 2+ books, I usually start getting bored and see all the same patterns. While this book did have some of that, it also was an excellent way to end the series.
I loved listening to the love triangle between Gwen, Lance, and Arthur. It was painful at times but it was meant to sound that. The anguish, devotion, loyalty, and most importantly love Kim Loraine weaved through them and the story was fantastic.
The narrators were fantastic. Each brought their accent and I really enjoyed listening to them all.
The romance was more prominent in this book than the previous two but it was done with great grace and showed the love each of them have for one another.
This particular book also has a few short stories at the end. The Siren Coven finds their fourth! We learn about Ruby at the end and about her relationship with an angel who is not a fallen.
Highly recommend all books!

Love Story of Camelot

Loved this series! Love Kim! Love the narrators! And loved the surprise at the end!
