Having claimed her birthright as the Pendragon's daughter, Lin now faces the difficult challenge of life at Camelot, which she finds is not as rosy hued as dreams would paint it to be. There is unfairness even there, prejuidice, and worst of her, her mother, the Queen Gwenhywfar, does not seem to like her at all. Moreover, she must deal with the sons of Morgause on a regular basis, the men who grew up in wealth mere feet away from where she was a slave. It does not take long for her to get enough of the Queen and ask to join her father's army, a request Arthur grants readily. Though she is only a young girl, Lin finds that she is able to make a place for herself in the ranks. Yet, her temper continues to get her into trouble and she despairs of ever proving herself worthy to be Arthur's daughter.

Lin's story is one of triumph and joy. The story of Camelot is given new life in the hands of this skilled wordsmith. Arthurian afficienados will definitely enjoy this new addition to the varied saga.

Synopsis
Sequel to the EPPIE-nominated The House Of Pendragon, Book I: The Firebrand...

In the long-anticipated second novel of her original House of Pendragon series, Debra A. Kemp continues the extraordinary story of King Arthur's estranged daughter, Lin.

Adjusting from her life as an orphaned and abused slave to that of Arthur, the Pendragon's daughter does not prove an easy task for young Lin. She struggles to adapt and find her place within the sumptuous palace walls of Camelot. Her mother, Queen Gwenhwyfar, expects Lin to conform to the life of royalty and the duties of a princess, including an arranged marriage. But having survived the cruelty of life as Modred's slave, Lin wants more than a tedious life of weaving and gossip within the world of women. Rejected by her cold, unloving mother, Lin seeks the role of training to become a soldier.

Her fighting spirit meets resistance at every turn. Can Lin prevail as a recruit in the Pendragon's army? Or will her past return to haunt her?
