For the Queen: A Novel (For the King #2)

The second installment in the For the King trilogy, in which King Arthur faces enemies both old and new, leading up to an electrifying collision of fates, from cocreator of the Myths and Legends® podcast, Carissa Weiser.

The old world is fading.

For the first time, Arthur rules alone. Merlin has vanished, leaving a King—no longer the young and impressionable boy from all those years ago—who must act according to his own principles. Enemies new and old alike circle his throne, and Guinevere sits beside him like a stranger. The weight of the crown, Arthur believes, is his to carry alone.

Beneath the surface, Nimue has reshaped Avalon under her own hand. The Ladies of the Lake are finally learning the craft of magic that they had been promised—and denied—for many years. Nimue has even raised her beloved son in her underwater kingdom, until her visions reveal that the time has come for him to leave. With a heavy heart, she sends her son above ground. And so, Lancelot journeys to Camelot.

Elsewhere, Morgan and Muriel’s relationship complexifies, as they weave plans of their own. A new knight with mysterious parentage arrives in the kingdom. And the threads of destiny tighten.

For the Queen is a story of great power and prophecy, but also of the fierce love between mothers and sons, of friendship tested and trust betrayed—all racing toward an ending that will change Camelot forever.
