??'The fresh takes on legendary characters and propulsive plot twists make this a page-turner ... an original and fascinating take on the romance of Arthur and Guinevere' Kirkus (starred review)?? ???***SOME LEGENDS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY***??? After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Vera is content to fade into the background, washing sheets and cleaning bathrooms in a Glastonbury hotel. But when a mysterious guest reveals himself as Merlin and whisks her back to seventh-century Camelot, everything changes. He insists she's not just Vera, she's Guinevere, and only she can undo the curse draining the kingdom's magic and save Camelot from the will of a power-hungry mage. There's just one problem: Vera remembers nothing of her past life. And with Camelot teetering on the edge of collapse, time is running out. As Merlin works to restore her memories, Vera uncovers a tangled history of betrayal, power, and heartbreak. Why does King Arthur recoil at her presence? What truly happened the night the curse was cast? And why does every answer feel like it's tearing her in two? In a kingdom built on legend, Vera must decide who she is-before the past destroys the future. TROPES INCLUDED Time travel ??? Magic ???? Romance ?? Quests ?? Knights ???
