"Peace, the scent captured me and held me... But only for a moment. Now, Tancred and I must fight for the gods of Albion against the Titans. Peace - a firefly's brief flash of life."

Taranis has charged him to find items containing the power necessary to defeat the Titans before they wake and destroy Albion. However, it's never quite that simple. He must travel the length and breadth of his new land with Nimue, the wife of his dead father and the woman who tried to kill Arthur. Fortunately, he also has Rhea, his adopted daughter who happens to be a Titan and of course Tancred. The young man must face his greatest challenge with Lancelot at his side, but will it be enough? Can Lancelot hold Tancred together? Both men are drawn forward while they seek the power the gods need to fight the Titans. All rests once more on their broad shoulders, how long can they continue to carry the burden and fight the wars? Lancelot's Burden is the fifth in the Knights Of Camelot Series and charges onward with all the passion and intrigue we've come to love in this revolutionary and controversial cycle.

August 14, 2019I really like the story line in this series with all the trials and angst and maturing Lancelot goes through. The only thing that detracts from it is the grammatical mistakes that are present. You need to get a proofreads who will catch these mistakes during editing so it will be more readable when it goes to press! These errors are distracting when I am trying to figure out what you are trying to say!

I can't help but be hooked on this series. Lancelot is the kind of character that reaches out and puts a stranglehold on your heart.
So in this book, we get a surprise. As Lancelot travels with Tancred, Rhea, Nimue, and Bors, they are attacked and Tancred is nearly killed. Lancelot blocks the killing blow and Tancred gets some revenge as he kills Rafe, Lancelot's half brother and Nimue's son who had blatantly used Tancred for his own purposes. However, Lancelot nearly dies and drastic measures are taken, resulting in his union of souls with Arthur ending and his soul being bound to Tancred instead. Of course, nothing is ever simple for Lancelot and Tancred.
The union unlocks more power in Tancred, revealing him as a shifter, apparently something akin to a werewolf. He cannot resume form on his own and Lancelot cannot hear his thoughts. Epona, a goddess, helps in what small way she can by allowing Tancred to resume form during daylight hours. More twists and turns come as they continue on their search for objects to help the gods take down the Titans once and for all. Tancred is abducted again, this time by shifters like himself and revealed to be of royal blood among shifters. His father is Cerrunnos, a well known mythological figure as he was a celtic sun god in the myths. The shifters want him to take his father's place, prompting more torture for Tancred.
There are more twists and dangers, and strange alliances are made, all culminating in the civil war among the gods in which Tarranis has decided he wants the death of all Titans, including Rhea, while others want to use the Titans in hopes of wielding their ancient power.
I enjoy Lancelot's story because he's always struggling but finds the strength to do whatever is needed to protect his loved ones. I hurt for him, and I want to read more.

These books are such a guilty pleasure... I kinda wish they weren't *quite* so hyperbolic but they are fun to read.

I love these books. Twisty and engaging, I'm often knocked on my ass and never see the plot twist coming. I wish I had the fortitude and time to read these all in one go.
