Guinevere Books

In the first volume of her Guinevere trilogy, Shaman New man tells the story of the golden child whose dearest friend is a saint who hears spirits singing; of the gentle-hearted woman who begins to dream of love, glory, and the fierce, proud king who will become her husband; of the passionate beauty whose name will be remembered and hated for centuries. Sharan Newman portrays Guinevere with all the charm, skill, and erudition that have won her the hearts of readers and the admiration of critics for her Catherine LeVendeur medieval mystery series. In "Guinevere," Newman offers a reinterpretation of the Arthurian saga and as memorable as "The Mists of Avalon" and "The Hollow Hills."

In "The Chessboard Queen" Guinevere is now the beautiful young wife and queen of King Arthur, a position much-coveted by all women of Camelot. But nothing in life is ever certain, and soon Guinevere discovers--most alarmingly--her deep and passionate love for another man: Lancelot, the most beloved Knight of the Round Table in all of Camelot. In this second installment of her Guinevere trilogy, Sharan Newman brings the legend of Lancelot and Guinevere to life with a blend of magic and history. "The Chessboard Queen" is a beautiful rendering of the world's most timeless romance, a tale of earthly passion and spiritual love like no other before or since.

Guinevere is widely acknowledged as the most extraordinary woman in legend. From golden child to Queen of Camelot to passionate adulterer, her life is a vivid an fascinating saga. In this spellbinding climax to the tale of Guinevere--which began with Guinevere and continued in The Chessboard Queen --Sharan Newman, author of the highly acclaimed Catherine LeVendeur medieval mystery series, blends magic and history to create and unforgettable tale of passion and tragedy. Here we see the discover of Guinevere's affair with Lancelot and her subsequent fall from grace; the near-futile quest for the Holy rail; and the triumph of Galahad in a final battle with the villainous Mordred. Guinevere Evermore is a heartrending portrayal of a failed romance, a fallen woman, and the end of an era. Sharan Newman's reinterpretation of the Arthurian saga is as ambitious and persuasive as The Mists of Avalon and The Hollow Hills --just as memorable.
