About "The Lost Queen"

"History and legend combine in this sweeping epic. In 6th century Scotland, Angles are ruthlessly attacking from the South, fought off by Emrys Pendragon and his warriors. Religious tension and violence is growing between the Old Ways and Christianity. The daughter of a king, Languoreth must marry for political alliance nd power. She hopes to use her position to save the Old Ways and her people, but doing so comes at great personal cost.

First in a trilogy full of action, romance, and political intrigue, Pike sheds new light on a powerful queen lost to history and her twin brother—a man who would become known as Myrddin."

Reviewed for you here by librarian Jennie R. Publication date is set as September 4, 2018.
