Excellent first book of a trilogy about the Arthur-Guenevere story. This one is from Guenevere's perspective. Starts out before she meets Arthur and goes through their 'falling out'. Very focused on the Goddess and women's role which is in direct conflict with the new religion, Christianity, and the male dominated societal practices. It is not anti-religion/Christianity or anti-male; rather it is a perspective of society before the male-dominated Christian society. I am looking forward to starting the second book.
