New Camelot #3
Timeless Surrender
History branded him a coward. Prophecy labeled her his destruction. Some legends are born of lies. Others begin when the lies end. And not everything remains myth...
"If you could live forever, what would you choose to live for? I chose power..."
Born of darkness and raised on revenge, Mordred Lothian spent an eternity fighting for the honor of a woman who had none. Free of her hatred, his only goal is to pick up the pieces of betrayal and attempt to forge a new life in a world that never wanted him.
Raised by one of Hollywood's most scandalous actresses, Jenalyn Rhodes knows true illusion begins when the end credits roll. Damaged by the one person who should have protected her most, she is determined to have no master and only one mistress: Herself.
Thrown together to stop an ancient evil hell bent on vengeance, can the sacrifice of one be the salvation of the other?

About the author
Torie N. James
37 books70 followersBorn on the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous,Torie is the illegitimate love child of Han Solo and Daenerys Targaryen. Rescued by Gandalf shortly before her home planet was destroyed in the last days of the Clone Wars, she was raised in relative obscurity by her foster parents, Severus Snape and Pippi Longstocking. At the tender age of 113, she inherited the best little whorehouse in Texas and is rumored to be bringing Sexy Back. A self confessed chocoholic, she's been engaged to Willy Wonka despite gossip surrounding a lifelong affair with Bruce Wayne.
And clearly, she practices delusion on a daily basis.
The truth is, I'm just an overgrown kid with a vivid imagination who loves to write and share my crazy with the world. My future plans include, hopefully, buying a lovely Scottish castle and convincing Queen Elizabeth I that I'd make a fab addition to the Royal Family.
Three years ago, I finally got my 'brave' on and submitted a wee story about true love, honor, friendship and the magic within us all. That story was Timeless Night, the first book in a five book series I've named New Camelot. Since then, I've been lucky enough to have published Timeless Desire (Book 2 of New Camelot), Beauty and The Feast (A New Camelot Thanksgiving Novella) Ties That Bind (The Cloie Chronicles I), Fractured Fantasies (Valentine's Venom), Fractured Fantasies (Volume 1) and Fractured Fantasies (Volume Two). Volumes 3, 4 and 5 are coming soon!

Like other New Camelot fans, I've eagerly awaited this book since I finished reading Timeless Desire. In keeping with the first two books, Timeless Surrender is filled with sass and wit. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter and wisecracks exchanged between Jennie and Mordred, their dialogue was great.
At first, the book has a slightly different feel than its predecessors. This is mostly due to the fact we don't see a lot of the original cast. Mordred and Jennie's interactions are more than enough to take center stage however, and the reader is soon swept up into the story.
The story really came together in the last third of the book, with plenty of page turning suspense. Mordred is a character with many layers. It has been fantastic to learn more about his background and motivations, both of which were integral to the deepening plot. If you loved the first two books in the New Camelot series, I highly recommend Timeless Surrender.

I love the New Camelot series and have been excited for this book since reading Timeless Desire. Timeless Surrender gives you everything, twists and turns and it's addictive. I couldn't stop reading from the moment I started and I can't wait to read more from this series because I hope it doesn't end. Torie James has taken a myth and given it a new life and absolutely love this series and can't wait to read more of this. A brilliant read.

Action, romance, magic, mystery and some of the best sarcastic humor I've read in a good long while makes this series a must read.
This story is about redemption and overcoming a terrible past to be more than you thought possible while learning to love in the shadow of true evil.

I've been following the works of Torie James for a while now and want to say to her, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for bringing New Camelot into my life.
Torie James is a phenomenal writer with the ability to draw the reader in from the start. With Timeless Surrender, I cried within the first few pages and was hooked until I read the last word.
Mordred started off as a character I wanted to hate but he is that lovable rogue that you can't ignore. And he has truly found his match in Jenni.
I can not wait for the next installment and future reads from Torie James. I'll be waiting with bated breath.

Amazing story
Just when you think there can be no more to write about in the Camelot universe, Torie James surprises us again. This time, it’s the story of Mordred Lothian, The Great Darkness, and Jenalyn, Bri’s best friend. Many twists and turns as Morgan attempts to throw monkey wrenches into the works. She’s safely tucked away, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her.

Another hit!
Big beefy and Jennie keep the hits coming. Awesome story and characters as usual. So many twist and turns keep you on your toes.

Oh wow...
I'm speechless. Just, wow... Read this, devour the story inside, then do like I am: beg Torie James to hurry with Arthur's book!

I've been waiting for this third installment of the New Camelot series -- and the story of Mordred, everyone's favorite anti-hero -- for years. It's been fantastic to see the heroes Lancelot (Alex) and Gawain, and their fierce ladies Bri and Nimue... but Mordred's story REALLY called out to me. I wasn't disappointed.
This story reminded me quite a bit of Kresley Cole's IAD novel, Dark Desires After DuskDark Desires After Dusk , though in terms of plot and personality it definitely has its own, New Camelot flavor. Mordred is a dark, secluded man who comes off as an ass to those around him, but inwardly struggles trying to make up for the sins of his past and the hateful manipulations of his mother, Morgan. In this book we see a side of him we haven't enjoyed before: he supports charities and coaches basketball for underprivileged youth, and relaxes in the evenings with a good MMORPG. I might have found these "endearing" traits to be disingenuine, but Torie James really knows how to write the heart of a character struggling to be a good person, against all expectations.
Dred's love interest Jenny is a spark of life and fun, a wonderful addition to the cast of heroines in this series. Not as dark as Mordred, she still has her own demons to carry-- her story smacks of a real "Mommy Dearest" vibe, and I love it. Again, Torie James can cut through the shallow gestures and cliches other authors might use to dress up a character's road to redemption, and really show you the heart of her people.
I loved the book, dare I say, even more than Timeless Desire, which was previously my favorite in the series. On the other hand, James leaves me with a bigger conundrum than I started with, because as soon as I finished Dred's story, she lured me in with a taste of Book Four. Now I can't wait for that one!
