A politically expedient marriage, rife with bitter history. King Arthur has hewn peace for Britain as promised and Camelot has enjoyed five years of plenty. Gawain, one of Arthur's greatest warriors and companions, seethes restlessly now war has ended. He brings himself to marry the politically suitable Tegan of Dunoding, who is far removed from the soft, gentle women he prefers, and irritates him more often than not. Tegan's bitterness toward Gawain is driven by a history he doesn't remember, and that she cannot forget, which dooms the marriage. When Tegan's closest friend, Queen Guenivere, goes missing, sending Camelot into chaos, Arthur tasks Gawain and Lancelot with finding the Queen. Gawain shocks Tegan by seeking her unique talents to help with the quest. The two must find a way to work together, for the good of Camelot and Britain...

Get your copy of Abduction of Guenivere today! >Praise for Abduction of Guenivere Another magnificent story. Somehow Tracy Cooper Posey takes this very well know tale and makes it new and fascinating for us. Having always been interested in myths and legends, I have found Tracy to be meticulous in weaving known legends and historical detail into original stories that fascinate. Her characters are real, with real problems, in real situations. The scenes are so realistic that I can picture myself being part of the story. I really appreciate the list included at the beginning of the book in "Who's Who and What's What" which includes "Houses, Clans and Tribes". The Maps section is also a great help and fun. If you enjoy history and romance, this book is for you! Once again, a strong tale of incredible women and their adjustments to life at Camelot. You feel the sorrow and the longing the characters have, you understand their needs and wants, disappointments, misunderstandings and desires - Tracy is quite frankly Brilliant. Tracey has an amazing ability to make you feel anxious, thrilled, hurt, relieved. You become so involved with the characters that you feel their apprehension, the what's going to happen next? Always intriguing, this series is fascinating. So magnificently written that it makes you question the reality of Camelot. The small slice-of-life details of the everyday citizens of Camelot are what bring the tale to life and gives me the sense that I KNOW these characters. Full immersion into the life and times, is such an interesting backdrop to the action and interactions of the storyline. You don't need to know the legends of Arthur to enjoy any of these books, as I started this series with only a familiarity of the main characters names' and I was completely hooked from the first book! I cannot get enough of this series! This is the legend of King Arthur like you've never read before. As with all of Tracy Cooper-Posey's amazingly detailed and unique characters Tegan is a strong-willed and independent woman with secret vulnerabilities.
