Gwen, a twenty-four-year-old librarian, lives with her boyfriend, Nathan, in a small house, with all the accoutrements of modern living any girl could ask for. When her father dies, it's left to Gwen to fulfill her father's wishes and scatter his ashes on the top of Glastonbury Tor in Somerset, England. Stepping into the ruined church tower, a gold ring catches her eye-a ring embossed with a dragon emblem. She's snatched into the dangerous world of the Dark Ages, where she discovers she's expected to fulfill a prophecy, by marrying Prince Arthur and helping him become the king of legend. Will she stay with Arthur? Arthur, Prince of Dumnonia, and son of the ailing King Uthyr Pendragon, has ruled the hilltop fortress of Din Cadan for his father since he was a boy of sixteen. But he has an older brother who looks set to inherit both the kingdom and the High Kingship. Tall, handsome, ruthless, he's less than convinced that any prophecy can decide his future, and he doesn't think he needs a wife. Taking Gwen with him, further and further from the Tor where she had hoped to return to her own world, he sets off to outwit his brother. Will he grow to love Gwen? Contains mature themes.… (mehr)

07/24/23: I don't hate this book. BUT I think it's a little bit of a drag that the narrator keeps having to remind us that she is from the future and that King Arther is in the past. It's also tedious to me that she keeps saying things like "in my time."

And I don't necessarily relate to the main character. I feel like her emotion is lacking and she is adjusting much too quickly to her complete lifestyle change and the fact that an arranged marriage is implied and she doesn't seem to miss her boo thing in modern times much.
....Maybe I'm a little too picky. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this Arthurian tale. It had a similar "Outlander" or "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" premise of Gwen the librarian stepping through the standing stones at Glastonbury Tor and finding herself in the past in the role of Arthur's love interest, Lady Guinevere. 21st century woman meets with Early Medieval values is certainly a culture shock, but I enjoyed all the historical romance/fiction aspects of the series.
