"There is more in you than memory ."

Vera never wanted to be queen. One day, she was a 21st-century waitress struggling to find a sense of purpose, and the next, she was ripped back to 7th-century Camelot, where she is Queen Guinevere---loved by King Arthur, befriended by Sir Lancelot, and suddenly responsible for a kingdom balancing on the edge of ruin.

Now, Arthur must hide in the shadows---even from Merlin---lest their enemies learn the truth that Vera uncovered to save him. For Camelot is under siege. Vera and the knights of the round table are preparing for war against the high council of mages, who seek to control not just the realm, but all its magic, too.

As enemies close in and betrayal lurks around every corner, Vera must decide what kind of queen she'll be: a woman trapped by the fate written in legend---or the ruler willing to sacrifice everything to change the stars.

Keeper of the Grail is the second installment of The Lives of Guineveretrilogy, a sweeping story of adventure, fierce love, and a heroine determined to rewrite the legend itself.
