About the book:
The gauntlet is thrown. One
must die. Refusal is not an option.
Arthur the High King of
Breatein has fallen captive of a longtime enemy, the Saxon warrior-princess
Camilla, who lusts to avenge the death of her betrothed at Gyan’s hands and
will stop at nothing, even the black arts, to achieve her goal. Because Gyan and
Arthur have grown estranged, she fears that Arthur may side with Camilla and
make her his new queen.
To meet Camilla’s challenge,
Gyan must face all her demons—public as well as private.

EXCERPTUpon reaching Gyan’s side, Angusel thrust a scroll into her hand, his gaze softening. Her stomach knotted. It took all her strength of will to keep her hands from trembling as she broke the seal and unrolled the parchment to read its contents.She had expected word of Arthur’s condition, couched in threats. Not this.Camilla had issued a personal challenge to end the impasse by single combat in front of Gyan’s troops. If Gyan declined the challenge, violated the terms, or lost the fight, her crown would be declared forfeit.Gyan crushed the parchment in her fist.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Kim Headlee lives on a farm
in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat
guards, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave
and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as
the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet.
Kim is a Seattle native and a
direct descendent of twentieth-century Russian nobility. Her grandmother was a
childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the romantic yet
tragic story of how Babushka escaped Communist Russia with the aid of her
American husband will most certainly one day fuel one of Kim’s novels. Another
novel in the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century
proto-Viking king of the Swedish colony in Russia.
For the time being, however,
Kim has plenty of work to do in creating her projected 8-book Arthurian series,
The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and other novels clamoring for attention. She has
been a published novelist since 1999, beginning with the original editions of
Dawnflight (Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster) and Liberty (writing as
Kimberly Iverson, HQN Books, Harlequin).
