But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere - it’s what’s been buried inside her. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. Kiersten White’s fantastic Camelot Rising trilogy with Guinevere at the center comes to a close in The Excalibur Curse. Not in the form of the Dark Queen or an invading army, but in the form of the real Guinevere’s younger sister.THE EXCALIBUR CURSE (CAMELOT RISING TRILOGY), by Kiersten White, Delacorte Press, Dec.
When a rescue goes awry and results in the death of something precious, a devastated Guinevere returns to Camelot to find the greatest threat yet has arrived. The more she tries to claim herself as queen, the more she wonders if Mordred was right: she doesn’t belong. She has no sense of who she truly was before she was Guinevere.
The closer she gets to Brangien, pining for her lost love Isolde, Lancelot, fighting to prove her worth as Queen’s knight, and Arthur, everything to everyone and thus never quite enough for Guinevere–the more she realizes how empty she is. Guinevere might have accepted her role, but she still cannot find a place for herself in all of it. Yet every night, dreams of darkness and unknowable power plague her. EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE IN CAMELOT: King Arthur is expanding his kingdom’s influence with Queen Guinevere at his side.
