Moralynn’s life was all planned out
… But not her death.
Moralynn was conceived for one purpose: to become a powerful enough druid to succeed Merlin.
When the Fae brag of destroying Camelot, Moralynn escapes home to find it alive, but transformed.
Why is Lancelot King?
How did Arthur become a druid?
Since when is she betrothed to Galahad?
Druids are dying, but before she can solve the mystery she awakens days earlier, in someone else’s body. As Moralynn investigates how to save this Camelot she must resist temptation to surrender to each person she inhabits.
How many times can she witness Camelot Crumble before madness takes her?
You’ll love this Groundhog Day meets King Arthur story because everyone loves solving the mystery alongside the characters.
Camelot Crumbles, by author Helen
Savore, is part of the authors Faerie Forge Chronicles. This story is Groundhog
Day meets King Arthur. The protagonist of the story is Moralynn who
you may know if you've read the author's Phoenix Succession series.
Moralynn was born to be Merlin's successor or Phoenix Sparked. She's also a
Druid, and a healer. But Lady Fate and Queen Titania, who controls time, decide
that Camelot will fall which plays right into the hands of the Fae. So,
Moralynn, cursed by time, is sent back to an altered reality where Lancelot is
King, not Arthur.
In this reality,
Moralynn hasn't been chosen as Phoenix Sparked yet and Merlin is still alive. She’s
also betrothed to Galahad. This realities Merlin is holding off officially
naming her his heir. He instead uses other characters like Mordred to prove
they are worthy. Moralynn finds herself cycling through various incarnations
from Sir Kay, to Prince Galahad, to Mordred, to Arthur, to Gawain, to Percival.
This is a time of war. The Romans, who are fearful of shapers and druids, are
on the move. Lancelot's Knights are being eliminated one by one which shouldn't
happen, and Guinevere is married to Lancelot, not Arthur.
Lancelot has made an
alliance with the Fae, but how far can you really trust them? Oh, I probably
should say that in this reality, Lancelot is also Fae. What's especially
twisted is that Druids like Moralynn are being targeted. As Moralynn recycles
through a cast of characters, who you won't remember unless you write them
down, she gets closer to exposing the truth. But she also loses memories of her
true self along the way. The more she dies, the more she loses of herself. As
Moralynn searches for answers, will it be enough to save Camelot before it
falls? The one thing that becomes crystal clear is that some of these
characters are more than they are made out to believe.
They have no problem
watching the Knights fall one by one until there are no more Druids. But
Moralynn will eventually come to realize that the world need Camelot, and it needs
the Phoenix to rise. But, after untold deaths, can she do anything to save
Camelot? I think this is a good refresher as to who Moralynn was before she
started training Alexandrea to become the next Phoenix Sparked. I think
it is time for another story in the Phoenix Succession series as well since
things remain cloudy for Alexandrea and Jamie.
