Overview
Sometimes legends don''t tell the whole story.
After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Vera would have been happy to spend her life completely unnoticeable, washing bedsheets and cleaning toilets in a Glastonbury hotel. But everything changes when a strange new guest reveals himself to be Merlin and drags her back to seventh century Camelot, a place she knows only from legends. He tells her that only Vera (or Queen Guinevere, as Merlin calls her) can right the course of history and save Arthur'' s kingdom from the will of a power-hungry mage.
There'' s one enormous problem: Guinevere was the sole witness to the curse that''s now draining the kingdom of its magic, and Vera doesn''t remember anything from that life. And with Camelot'' s peace ebbing ever closer to shattering, she''s running out of time.
Working with Merlin'' s magic to retrieve her long-lost memories brings more questions than answers: why is it that King Arthur, who treats his subjects with such benevolence, can'' t even stand to look at her? And why does that make Vera'' s soul feel like it'' s splitting in two? What robbed her of her memories in the first place . . . and, most importantly, why?
As Vera is about to discover, in a world of legend and power, the secrets of her memories are only the beginning . . .
