A cracking page-turning adventure that brings a new twist on Arthurian legend. The future of Camelot is in the hands of Arthur's secret daughter, Rhianna. Utterly gripping, this is the start of a series for 10+ year olds by an award winning author. It's a magical quest based adventure that will appeal to Harry Potter and Tolkien fans. In a sentence, it's Arthurian legend reinvented for a new generation of readers!
Author Katherine Roberts said: “As a big fan of Arthurian fantasy, I’ve always wanted to write my own version of the legend but didn’t want to repeat the old stories. When I found red-haired Rhianna, King Arthur’s daughter, hiding on the enchanted island of Avalon, I knew she would make a great young warrior princess to carry the Pendragon legend to a new generation.”
King Arthur is dead... meet his daughter Rhianna Pendragon! Rhianna has grown up in hiding on the enchanted isle of Avalon, where she learns to ride a mist horse with the help of her friend Prince Elphin. This idyllic childhood ends when Merlin arrives through the mist, bringing her father's body felled in battle by the dark knight Mordred. Rhianna sets out for Camelot to find Arthur's missing sword Excalibur and challenge her cousin Mordred for the throne, but on the way she and her friends encounter Mordred's witch-mother, Morgan Le Fay, and find themselves fighting a lot more than Arthur's human enemies. "Weaves Arthurian legend, Celtic myth and imagination into a romping tale. Rhianna has you on her side long before she rides into battle brandishing Excalibur." The Times The first book in an enchanting series for younger readers by the award-winning author of 'Song Quest'.
