✦ Synopsis

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.
