Not only is this delightful anthology is one of the more solid short story collections out there, but it also brings new stories and concepts that refresh the Camelot legend without corrupting the heart of the myth. Brave knights, valiant maidens, and intrepid orphans face witches, werewolves, trolls, the terrors of war, and the battle that lies within themselves. There are stories of enchantment, betrayal, secrets, hope, lies, and love. I experienced the full gamut of emotions as I followed the characters through tragedies, victories, fearsome battles, and other adventures. Even the introduction is a good read!

First, I would like to thank EDGE-Lite publishing and LibraryThing Early Reviewers for giving me a free ecopy of this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this short story collection set in Camelot. The stories were diverse in their settings and characters but still kept the same theme throughout the entire book. There are two poems that I didn't care for, one at the beginning of the book and one at the end, but that is more of a personal preference. I did actually enjoy all the stories in this book though.
Highly recommended if you like Arthurian legend, or any fantasy!

I love King Arthur stories and the title was what attracted me.
This is a very good collection of stories, well written and with interesting and strong characters.
Some stories are better than other as usual and this was a very enjoyable and entertaining read.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC
