Once and Future Hearts

Their every encounter gives off sparks of contempt and misunderstanding. Bedivere is one of King Arthur's companions, his marshall and war duke of his army. Handsome, remote, traditional and honor-bound, all he wants is to be a perfect warrior and serve Arthur. Only, Arthur's people face another dark winter of deprivation and defeat at the hands of the ruthless Saxons. How can Bedivere find victory for Arthur when there is no hope? Cara of Brynaich is half-Saxon, the younger daughter of a reviled family. Her facial scars keep her apart from everyone. Her heart holds only hatred for the Saxons who betrayed her mother, murdered her father and brought her and her kin to such misery. She has no time for honor and tradition. Hope is for blind fools. She brings chaos into Bedivere's life, while his cool indifference provokes her to ever greater excesses. When the Saxons scent the weakness of Arthur's defenses and descend upon Mount Badon, Bedivere and Cara must find a way to fight them and not each other...

As betrayal and war close in, can two hearts learn to trust again? Deryn of Calleva flees her ruined home, betrayed by her own kin and pursued by Saxons. With nothing left but her wits and her will to survive, she seeks shelter in Arthur's court-a place where loyalties shift like the wind and every ally may yet prove false. Cadfael of Dunoding, eldest son of his house and sworn to Arthur's service, is being shaped into the next war duke. Fiercely loyal to his king, he struggles to hold fast to honor while Britain fractures around him. Yet the wary, sharp-eyed woman from his past awakens a bond he cannot deny. Together, Deryn and Cadfael must navigate treachery within Camelot and the relentless threat beyond its walls. When Arthur's fighting men are called to their greatest trial, their choices will decide not only their hearts, but the fate of a kingdom.

Tracy Cooper-Posey once again found a way to drop you into history through her extraordinary storytelling – Reader Review The third set of three books of the series that will "keep you hooked until the end", featuring the myths, legends and magic of the beloved King Arthur stories, surrounding heart-rending romances of the men and women who lived and loved in these perilous times. 7.0 Abduction of Guenivere A politically expedient marriage, rife with bitter history. 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… 8.0 Downfall of Cornwall Can Anwen help Sagramore find a way out of the darkness? Sagramore and Tristan are closer than brothers, sharing wine, women and an affinity for feral, furious fighting. As heir to both the King of the Magyars and the Eastern Roman throne, Sagramore is an outsider who has never been fully accepted by King Arthur's court, or King Mark's either. Calm, composed Anwen Idria, oldest daughter of the King of Strathclyde, is adored by all of Camelot the moment she arrives. She refuses the attention of the passionate, fiery Sagramore, for his wildness and blistering emotions remind her too much of her father, a former slave called Idris the Slayer, who terrifies her. 9.0 Vengeance of Arthur The omens gather, while Camelot fractures… Saraid is an orphan, thanks to the Saxons, but has found a place as lady companion to Adrivete, the daughter of King Drust of Deira. She wants nothing more than to stay where she is and live a quiet, uneventful life. Her peace is shattered when Owain, the son of the dead King of Rheged, rides into Deira and demands they hand over Lamorak, the murderer of his aunt, Morguase of Lothian…before sliding from his horse in exhaustion. Then a message is received from Arthur, the High King of Britain, ordering Adrivete to travel to Camelot with Owain. Adrivete insists Saraid travel with her. When Owain unexpectedly helps her cope with the rigors of travel, Saraid learns he is not at all the gruff, infamous son of Rheged that rumour paints him to be. Neither of them wants to go to Camelot. Together, they might survive the politics, conspiracies and the storm that gathers over the city of miracles… The series: 1.0 Born of No Man 2.0 Dragon Kin 3.0 Pendragon Rises 4.0 War Duke of Britain 5.0 High King of Britain 6.0 Battle of Mount Badon Included in this boxed set: 7.0 Abduction of Guenivere 8.0 Downfall of Cornwall 9.0 Vengeance of Arthur The remainder of the series: 10.0 Grace of Lancelot 11.0 The Grail and Glory 12.0 Camlann Readers have described Tracy Cooper-Posey as "a superb story teller" and her historical fantasy romances as "written art".
