'The Warrior Queen' is the first instalment of 'The Guinevere Trilogy', a new series of eBooks that reimagines the famous story of Queen Guinevere for a modern audience.
When her people's army is destroyed in the war with King Arthur, Guinevere is horrified to discover that her conqueror has demanded to have her as his bride. She arrives at Camelot angry and resentful, but quickly finds that the king who defeated her people in battle is not the savage brute she expected. Slowly, she gains a fragile happiness in her new home, but this is threatened when war comes again. When her life is saved on the battlefield by a mysterious French knight, Guinevere finds herself caught between desire and duty, the longing for happiness in the new life she has, and her desire to be free and follow her heart.
This original re-imagining of a much-loved legend gives readers a new Guinevere; passionate, headstrong and fiercely independent. For anyone looking for an immersive adventure through Arthurian legend, steeped in magic, passion and intrigue, this book won’t disappoint. Collins retells the classic narrative through the eyes of a queen determined to escape the bounds her society has placed on her, determined not to be ruled by the men who surround her, and determined to be master of her own destiny.
Praise for this novel on Amazon has described it as ‘gritty and sensual’, and Guinevere as ‘the medieval heroine for the modern-day woman’. She ‘is a truly engaging heroine, and her outlook on love and life is much more complex than other female protagonists in the genre.’
One reviewer has described it thus: ’Never has there been, since the Mists of Avalon over 30 years ago, such an accurate and engaged work around the women of King Arthur's court. Guinevere is given a very modern personality which all feminists will appreciate, all the while remaining consistent with the medieval Arthurian tales... a very difficult balance which has been achieved with perfection! I would recommend this book not only to medieval connoisseurs, but to anyone appreciative of a well written romance intrigue.’
