The Forgotten Queen

Retelling Camelot. As an infant Avalon is stripped of beauty so that all that remains are her dramatic green eyes. She is taught from birth that Arthur is her destiny. Out of curiosity she watches him in the lake and finds it impossible not to fall in love—and yet he is the king. It's not until a love triangle between Guinevere, Lancelot, and Arthur forces Camelot to the brink of destruction that Arthur realizes what a fool he has been.
