Outlander-meets-The Princess Bride plus Camelot in a fresh, big-hearted, feminist, timeslip adventure reimagining the epic saga of King Arthur, as told from the perspective of his spunky and surprising queen, Vera - complete with time travel and good running shoes! Vera always knew she didn't fit in. When she learns that she is meant to be in another time, she leaps at the chance to embrace a new life in a world of valor, intrigue, and unexpected magic in this bold and romantic retelling of Arthurian legend . . . 22-year-old Vera is at a crossroads: waiting tables at a downtown dive and living with her codependent mother. When a mysterious stranger offers her a way out, it seems too good to be true: the chance to return to a time and place of her choosing. Vera picks Camelot. But the past is not what she imagined. No knights in shining armor greet her; instead, she finds a world of political intrigue, dangerous magic, and a king who is nothing like the legends. Vera must navigate courtly schemes, unexpected allies, and an attraction she never saw coming - all while discovering that maybe the future she was meant to change is her own. Deluxe Limited Edition hardcover with stenciled edges, a foiled hardcover, and exclusive interior design with full-color illustrated endpapers.
