Description
"Through all the ages, and in the hearts of men, you will be forgotten."
Married at twelve, and a mother soon after, King Arthur's sister Anna did not live a young life full of promise. She bore three strong sons and delivered the kingdom of Orkney to her brother by way of her marriage. She did as she was asked, invisible and useful-for her name, her dowry, and her womb.
Now, twenty years after she left her home, Anna is summoned back to Carelon with the crown of her now-dead husband, to face the demons of her childhood: her sisters Morgen, Elaine and Morgause; Merlin and his scheming priests; and Bedevere, the man she once loved.
Carelon is changing, and Anna must change with it. New threats lurk in the shadows, and a strange power begins to awaken in her. If she is to be more than a pawn in others' plans, she must bargain her own strength, and family, in pursuit of her ambition-and revenge.
About the Author
Natania Barron is an award-winning fantasy author long preoccupied with mythology, monsters, and magic. Her often historically-inspired novels are filled with lush description and vibrant characters. Publications include her 2011 debut, Pilgrim of the Sky, as well as These Marvelous Beasts, a collection of novellas.
In 2020, Barron's Queen of None was hailed as "a captivating look at the intriguing figures in King Arthur's golden realm" by Kirkus, and won the Manly Wade Wellman award the following year.
Her shorter works have appeared in Weird Tales, EscapePod, and various anthologies, RPG, and game settings. In addition, she's also known for her ThreadTalks, which dive deep into the unseen, and often forgotten, world of fashion history.
