After Igernna's revelations, Morganne and Artuìr part ways, with her running to Cornwall and settling at the lands of her father, and the King falling prey to a Pictish ambush. In the midst of his despair, Artuìr allows Myrddin to take the reins of his destiny, and finds himself bound by a treaty he hasn't foreseen, but one that promises to deliver peace into his hands. But dark forces rise behind the scenes and plot against the dream he's shared of a Kingdom of Summer and a land without strife, and before they know it, Artuìr, Morganne and Myrddin find themselves unwitting players in a game none can win.
At the same time, those same forces plot and conspire in modern day Avalon Hall, bringing chaos and turmoil to the lives of Emrys, Yseult, Nora and Aaron...

The third book in this series pays off the visions and events hinted at in books 1 and 2, and finally answers the mystery of who killed Artuir. As long as you can keep the characters straight (some have very similar names) and remember the events of the previous books, Kingdom Come brings all the threads together and expertly unveils the author's creative take on the tale of King Arthur. It's an epic adventure of forbidden love, curses, vampires, witches, and time walks, that comes to a satisfying conclusion for fans of supernatural stories with a historic twist.
Kingdom Come is the finale to the mature Arthurian trilogy bringing to a conclusion the tale of legend, intertwined with modern witch academy, Avalon Hall.
The sudden arrival of vampire Emrys' fabled magical father precipitates a tragic timewalk and the truth, so long hidden in the mists of Avalon, will become horrifyingly clear. But who can survive such revelations?
Complex, brutal and moving, the hallmark of Miranda's writing, the tale comes to a stunning conclusion, dragging Emrys and his beloved Yseult through terrors and heartbreak in multiple ages.
KINGDOM COME is Ruth Miranda’s stunning finale to her Avalon Hall Trilogy. These three books comprise an epic and original interpretation of Arthurian legend, and take us back and forth between the time of the legend’s making and the present. As Kingdom Come opens, Morganne and Artuir go their separate ways and we then learn that Autuir makes the big mistake of allowing Myrddin (Merlin) to take control of Avalon’s destiny.
The present day vampire, Emrys, is always center stage for me, and he takes my breath away with his larger than life personality. His famous father, the wizard Merlin himself, time walks, and he becomes an essential ingredient in unveiling the secrets of Avalon and all its terrifying truths. We are shown all the heartbreaks and sufferings of Emrys and his forever love, the legendary Yseult, through the ages, and will have our hearts broken along the way. And the suffering goes well beyond Emrys and Yseult’s.
And while the history of ancient Avalon unfolds, we also see how these destructive forces impact modern day Avalon Hall, bringing pain and mayhem into the lives of the present day characters of Emrys, Yseult, Aaron and Nora, who we have come to care for. In the end, we will learn who did actually kill Artuir, and Ms. Miranda ties together all the threads of this ambitious trilogy. The author is known for imaginative world building, supernatural elegance and characters that feel, love and suffer deeply. It is all here in full force in KINGDOM COME.
