FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Four women, four destinies - the future of King Arthurs court...A new, feminist retelling of the Arthurian legendsFour women, four destinies - the future of King Arthurs court...A fresh, feminist retelling of the Arthurian legendsThe Cleaving is an Arthurian retelling that follows the tangled stories of four women- Nimue, Ygraine, Morgana, and Guinevere, as they fight to control their own destinies amid the wars and rivalries that will determine the destiny of Britain.The legendary epics of King Arthur and Camelot dont tell the whole story. Chroniclers say Arthurs mother Ygraine married the man that killed her husband. They say that Arthurs half-sister Morgana turned to dark magic to defy him and Merlin. They say that the enchantress Nimue challenged Merlin and used her magic to outwit him. And that Arthurs marriage to Guinevere ended in adultery, rebellion and bloodshed. So why did these women chose such dangerous paths?As warfare and rivalries constantly challenge the king, Arthur and Merlin believe these women are destined to serve Camelot by doing as they are told. But men forget that women talk. Ygraine, Nimue, Morgana and Guinevere become friends and allies while the decisions that shape their lives are taken out of their hands. This is their untold story. Now these women have a voice.File Under- Fantasy Once and Future | A Womans Work | Out of the Shadows | Cutting EdgeJuliet E McKenna is an expert on medieval history and warfare and brings this expertise as well as her skills as a fantasy writer to this epic standalone novel.
