Prize-winning author Gabriella Batel returns with stunning new short story, an Arthurian retelling perfect for fans of Rebecca Ross and Erin Morgenstern
You know the story of King Arthur. This isn't it.
Hode is descended of kings—specifically, King Aruthur and his scion Tristan. She is the one true heir of Britain. And she is in disguise. Britain is nothing like her home of Avalon, and is a phantom of the former glory in the stories Arthur and Tristan have told her.
It turns out, Britain's stories tell a different tale of her beloved ancestors.
Confronted with split, contradicting narratives, Hode returns to Avalon, searching for answers—even if the truth breaks her.
