An evocative and magical romance set in the legendary time of King Arthur. Elen, the daughter of a Welsh chieftan, lives in the border territory with her widowed mother and her brother. Her family are keen to ally with King Arthur, but some of the other local chieftains, in particular Urien, are not so sure. One night Elen is called out to tend to a woman in childbirth, and when her mother offers her some strange advice before she leaves she realises with trepidation that she is going to the fae folk. In return for her aid in the safe delivery of a baby boy, the fae magically delay her return home; so when she arrives Urien's men have already left, leaving her home in ruins and her mother brutally butchered. Elen determines to ride to Arthur's court to beg for aid in driving out the invaders. What she doesn't know is that Urien is the paramour of Morgaine, the most powerful sorceress on the Isle of Britain, Arthur's half-sister and his deadliest enemy. Morgaine and Urien decide that Elen must not be allowed to reach Arthur. But they reckon without the valiant Geraint, younger brother of the renowned Sir Gawain. He is determined to prove himself worthy of his place at the round table, but when he meets Elen he will find there are things other than honour worth fighting for.

Her own magic is strong in her veins and she is able to have more freedom than Morgaine is aware of. With the help of Geraint she becomes her own master and they escape into the land of the Lord and Lady of the Fae. The only way to kill Urien who is protected by Morgaine's magic is to complete a quest for the Lord and Lady. They must find the Little King, Gwiffert pen Lleied, and obtain by honourable means the spear of Manawyddan. The spear has it's own magic and will fly true to the aimed at and then return to the throwers hand. After she has used it to kill Urien she must return it to the Fae.
Things are never simple as the Little King lives in a place filled with secrecy, sorcery, servants and many legends. The couple must keep their wits about them and distinguish the lies from the truths if they are to succeed and escape with their lives.
Filled with many myths and legends from Welsh mythology, I enjoyed this even more than Camelot's Shadow and can't wait to read the third in the series, Camelot's Sword. The story telling was carefully crafted and drew me in to their world completely. There were enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a story well told with well developed characters and plot. ( )
