Su dicha aumenta cuando, pese a la oposición de Merlín, se casa con el joven pero sabio rey Arturo. Sin embargo, desde el trágico día en que su hijo de siete años falleció como consecuencia de un accidente, la relación con su marido se ha deteriorado, ya que nunca ha sido capaz de perdonarlo. A su vez, el reino también ha perdido el equilibrio: los caballeros de la Tabla Redonda están divididos en dos bandos, los enemigos de Camelot urden un plan para derrocar a Arturo, y aparece Lanzarote, el misterioso caballero que cambiarlá la vida de la reina para siempre. Guenevere becomes queen of the Summer Country at the unexpected death of her mother. In the Summer Country, queens rule and are free to choose their partners and can choose another after seven years. At the same time, Merlin brings Arthur to Caerleon to claim it back and despite his resistance, Guenevere chooses Arthur for her chosen one and they join the kingdoms. But Merlin and Morgan plot, so life doesn't go smoothly. This was an interesting retelling of some of the Arthur legends, from Guenevere's point of view. Will probably look for the next book in series too. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

But then the women in the book aren't portrayed as great either. Guenevere basically doesn't do anything despite being the title character. She just meekly sits there while men argue until she marries Arthur, and then he just does whatever he wants and she does nothing about it. I've never read a super misandrist book that somehow also made the women come off super awful. Lucan is the only character in the book who has a personality and is any way interesting to read about.
The book doesn't even make use of Guenevere apparently having psychic visions. SPOILER: Some men tell Guenevere that Morgause's sons are out for revenge against Arthur, and now the man who killed Morgause's husband is escorting Morgause back home. Guenever has a vision of them drenched in a huge amount of blood, and she's just like "Huh I guess that means they'll be protected from evil" and then she goes on to have absolutely no problem with the three vengeful sons living in the household.
