The Lost Queen, by Signe Pike
4.0
4.25 Stars
If you liked the mysticism and writing of A River Enchanted
And you like the tales of Camelot and Arthurian legends, than you need to read this book.
This book is a historical fiction set in 6th century Scotland. It follows Langoureth, the daughter of one of the kings of Strathclyde throughout her life as she eventually becomes the High Queen of Strathclyde and battles to protect the Old Way and her loved ones
I don't read a lot of historical fiction, in fact I primarily read fantasy. But I have to say that this novel was incredible. Despite not being full of romantic encounters and action, this book was a page turner.
The author has spent years researching Celtic mythology and Arthurian times and in her author notes she explains where she found the name Langoureth and any other related information.
I enjoyed reading this book and will be picking up the second one!
