Working on her doctoral dissertation has been stressful for Jenna Monroe, an American studying at Edinburgh University. She’s writing about the mythological kingdom of Camelot which historians believe was above the City of Edinburgh at a place called Arthur’s Seat near Salisbury Crag. She hikes up to the crag for inspiration, and while resting there, meets a man in a hooded cape.
The man introduces himself as Art, the son of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. A castle appears out of the mist and the man escorts her inside to dine. Believing it to be a vivid dream brought on by too much stress, Jenna shrugs off the encounter. She’s later shocked when she sees the man from her dream in town.
Memorable quote: "Let's see how enchanted you really are, medieval man." Jillian Chantal does a wonderful job with this innovative retelling of the myth of King Arthur. It is set in the modern day but with fascinating excursions into a resplendent medieval past. The reader gets caught up in the magic of the story just as the heroine does This is a fast, enjoyable read from the first word to the last.
