\nBOOK SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n

A funny thing happened on the way to the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Arthur, High King of Brydein, must fight the last of the rebel kings to acknowledge his right to govern them all: his old nemesis, King Urien of Dalriada. Before he can lead his army to where Urien\u2019s forces sit ensconced, however, a fey man appears from the midst of a sudden, eerie storm to block the way. The man claims to be the high king of an altogether unknown land\u2026 and he wields uncanny power the likes of which Arthur has never seen.<\/p>\n

Garrin, High King of Helvar, steps into a patch of mist. A breath later, he\u2019s standing toe to toe with a man claiming to be the high king of an altogether unknown land\u2026 and this warrior-king is leading an army into Helvar, wielding a sword that resists Garrin\u2019s magic. Only, the man insists that his sword isn\u2019t enchanted and that Garrin isn\u2019t in Helvar anymore.<\/p>\n

What the bloody hell\u2014or five hells, in Garrin\u2019s case\u2014is a high king to do?<\/p>\n

Their encounter reeks of an enemy mage\u2019s dark arts, and no one is laughing.<\/p>\n

Excerpt  (Garrin demands answers,
\n<\/a>
\nWhat had Arthur called this place? Brydein? There was no kingdom of that name in the entire world.
\nAt least\u2026 not in his world.
\nHe recalled the odd wrenching sensation he\u2019d felt as he had stepped into a patch of mist. Had he passed through a gate between worlds? If so, someone from Brydein must have summoned him. Had this Arthur done so? If he had, he would regret it. Cai would relax his grip soon enough, and Garrin resolved to be ready.
\nMeantime, he needed more answers.
\n\u201cWhat do you want with me?\u201d Garrin demanded of Arthur.
\nArthur nodded at one of his soldiers, and the man retrieved Arthur\u2019s sword for him. He examined the blade longer than Garrin felt was necessary before sheathing it at last.
\nNo one\u2014mage or otherwise\u2014had ever possessed the anatomy to make Garrin stew. He felt his respect for this man rise a notch.
\n\u201cWant\u2026 with you?\u201d Arthur shook his head as if perplexed by the question. \u201cNot one bloody thing. In fact, Garrin brin Alaric, you are a distinct inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nCHARACTER BIOS<\/p>\n

Arthur is a warrior-king, military strategist, diplomat, and great in the sack with his wife, Gyan. They have three children. He loves a good friendly bout with swords, blunted or otherwise, and can hold his own in a verbal duel too.<\/p>\n

Garrin is a mage-king and warrior, not so great with diplomacy but is willing to learn, and you\u2019ll have to ask him how good he is in the sack with his significant other, Kaitlyn. If you dare. He is well versed in herbal lore and makes a terrific camp stew.<\/p>\n

\nAUTHOR BIOS<\/p>\n

Kim Headlee lives on a farm in the mountains of southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, fish, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife.

She has been an award-winning published novelist since 1999 (Dawnflight, first edition, Simon & Schuster) and has been studying the Arthurian legends for nigh on half a century.<\/p>\n

Patricia Novak lives in Alabama with her husband, Jim, two dogs, and more cats than she wants to count.
