Albion's Circle #2
In My Veins
Anna is his. Merlin has failed. The Circle is broken. After being defeated in every lifetime, Mordred believes he has finally won.
Even though Anna has little hope of gaining Merlin's forgiveness for believing Mordred over him and the rest of the Circle, she isn't giving up and vows to set things right. When an offer of help comes from an unlikely ally, Anna must trust her instincts—the very thing that got her into this mess in the first place.
Because more than just her survival hangs in the balance. Mordred took her for a reason. Anna is the key. The key to completing the Circle. The key to preventing unthinkable death and destruction at Mordred's hand. The key to destroying the heart of a wizard whose love has followed her through the ages.
But Mordred has forgotten exactly what he is up against.
Arthur and his Knights.
The most powerful Magical to ever walk the Earth.
And a love a thousand years in the making.
This book contains some M/M scenes.

"I received a copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads."
This is the second story in the series, and I highly recommend that you read the first book first - it is to be found in the collection "If Ever I Would Leave You: Arthurian Stories For A New Generation" . It sets up the story and I think it would be difficult to understand all the dynamics without reading it first.
There are so many layers to this story, that it is fast flowing and exciting, even when they are just waiting for things to happen! The way in which the characters know how things have played out for the last thousand years, they remain hopeful of success now they have found Anna. Along with Anna also comes her brother Will - who has definitely upped the heart rate of one of the knights. I loved how that played out ... hot, hot, hot! Even though in modern day these are young people trying to save the world, they are very old souls and their behaviour is a fascinating mix of hope over experience. We get to learn things through different viewpoints, which works well, as with such a large cast, it is good to understand the dynamics.
Betrayal, confusion, heart ache and untameable magic - this book is absolutely packed full of wonderful reading material.
I do hope book 3 is available soon, as we are left ... not so much on a cliff, as on the edge of sanity ... Please Ms Jarman, get that muse firing and let me know what happens next!

I enjoyed this book. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. I do suggest reading the first book in the series or you might have questions about the who/what/why. I give it a 3.5
While Anna is the "key" heroine in this story there are other couples that happen in this book. It does contain m/m.
