"Magical, haunting, unique—I haven't been so excited about an Arthur book since I read The Once and Future King ."—Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

The Lady of Shalott reclaims her story in this bold feminist reimagining of the Arthurian myth from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess.

Everyone knows the legend. Of Arthur, destined to be a king. Of the beautiful Guinevere, who will betray him with his most loyal knight, Lancelot. Of the bitter sorceress, Morgana, who will turn against them all. But Elaine alone carries the burden of knowing what is to come—for Elaine of Shalott is cursed to see the future.
On the mystical isle of Avalon, Elaine runs free and learns of the ancient prophecies surrounding her and her friends—countless possibilities, almost all of them tragic.
When their future comes to claim them, Elaine, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Morgana accompany Arthur to take his throne in stifling Camelot, where magic is outlawed, the rules of society chain them, and enemies are everywhere. Yet the most dangerous threats may come from within their own circle.
As visions are fulfilled and an inevitable fate closes in, Elaine must decide how far she will go to change destiny—and what she is willing to sacrifice along the way.

      This audiobook is a retelling of the Arthurian legend from the point of view of Elaine, the Lady of Shallot. Narrator Ell Potter presents Elaine as a young, innocent woman who is at the mercy of her visions of the past and the future. Her relationships with friends Arthur, Morgana, Guinevere, and Lancelot are at the core of the tale. They're fiercely loyal to each other, and Potter projects Elaine's hope for a happy ending despite their disagreements and betrayals. Potter uses only small differences in the voices of the major characters, an approach that is consistent with the story's point of view. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
