Synopsis

Irish warrior and fifth knight Fionna Allán agonizes over an impossible choice. Either she saves her father and sister by betraying the three knights and king she loves, or she chooses her heart and dooms her family to death. Determined to find another way, Fionna strikes a bargain with Arthur Pendragon. She'll join his Grail Quest in exchange for his promise to ransom her family.

Arthur is convinced that Fionna is a key to finding the legendary Grail. The mythical bowl is the Kingdom of Caerleon's only hope to break Morgan la Fay's curse, the dark spell now sickening Arthur's people and withering his green lands. But the Grail will not yield its secrets easily. To find the relic, the five knights must undertake a perilous journey to the Scoti Kingdom of Alba and into the depths of the misty Otherworld and beyond.

Each knight's honor will be tested—and so will their hearts—as Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival's love for their fifth knight grows more entangled by the day. But no trial shakes their tightening bonds more than an unexpected discovery. A third curse. A truth so devastating, the revelation may tear them apart and grant Morgan la Fay the power she craves over Caerleon and all of Briton.

Contains mature themes.

About Claire Luana

Claire Luana grew up reading everything she could get her hands on and writing every chance she could. Eventually, adulthood won out, and she turned her writing talents to more scholarly pursuits, going to work as a commercial litigation attorney at a mid-sized law firm.

She has written and published the Moonburner Cycle and the Confectioner Chronicles and is currently co-writing the Knights of Caelreon series with Jesikah Sundin. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband and two dogs. In her (little) remaining spare time, she loves to hike, travel, binge-watch CW shows, and of course, fall into a good book.

The Third Curse! I never thought I would enjoy books like this, but they really have a little bit of everything. Faerie curses, celtic legends, funny and personable knights...and this book turned up the heat in the harem quite a bit! I also enjoyed the banter between the characters. Even though it ha......more

Goodreads review by Becky

The steam-o-meter crept up a few degrees in this book, and so did my affection for each knight! I loved the quest they went on to find the Grail, so full of action, adventure, and mystery. There was one part in particular that had me in stitches though. I seriously didn't want the scene to end! One......more

Goodreads review by Tyffany

Claire and Jesikah did a fantastic job of continuing their spin on the Arthurian legend. While I do feel like the pacing of this one was a bit slower, for me, the overarching story has me absolutely enthralled and I just LOVE their character cast. Every Knight has his or her own shining (and not so......more
