About this title

From the Author

My best recommendation is going straight to the audible and listen to the fantastic version by Grammy winners Gabrielle de Cuir and Stefan Rudnicki.The characters in this book drive the story. Sometimes they seem omniscient, and sometimes they seem to contradict themselves. This was all intentional. The characters attempt to figure out what has happened to them and who they are. In real life, we often jump to conclusions or make hasty generalizations. My characters are relatable in that way and more. So when a character speaks or writes their story, they speak as they think, which often is wrong or at the very least premature or biased.The book takes some liberty with some biblical tales and historical legends. To be fair, it is a complicated and convoluted novel that might be viewed as somewhat theatrical and operatic. Ultimately, the characters learn the wisdom of knowing that what they believe to be factual is mostly about faith, which isn't a bad thing. There was never any intention of saying, "this is how it was, or this is what happened." I do qualify these stories as simply that, stories and legends. It is, after all, a fictional piece of literature. It is a story that both the religious and the agnostic can enjoy but in different ways.The characters learn several other things as well. Faith, believing in yourself, living with your decisions, dealing with personal loss and tragedy...these and other issues are dealt with in more than one way depending upon the character.Life is a journey. And the wisdom that we all gain from this journey is not free. But it is all very well worth the trip.-Rae T. Alexander

Review

"Anyone who appreciates Arthurian mythology will appreciate this book. It's a great marriage of old myth with modern twist...a love story that merges time travel, mythology, science fiction and fantasy all in one. It's got a hint of the magical and mystical, but in such a way as to be believable."-Goodreads Community Reviewer
