Overview

In her acclaimed Maiden Voyage, Judith O'Brien spun "an extraordinary, enchanting tale" (Rendezvous) of a love that crossed the centuries. Now, in a story that tingles with magic and wit, she sends a delightful contemporary heroine on a star-crossed quest in a long-ago land that may be morethan just the stuff of fairy tales...

Madison Avenue advertising executive Julie Gaffney is on the lookout for a good man and a love that will last forever. But heroes are few and far between in New York City, and β€” after one too many disastrous blind dates β€” Julie hasall but given up. Then, while chaperoning a children's birthday party in a suburban medieval theme restaurant, Julie suddenly falls into a cold faint...and awakens in fabled Camelot, face-to-face with the greatest hero of them all β€” the legendary Lancelot.

Behind the suit of armor is a man of deep passion and sensuous masculinity, a loyal knight who is about to be ensnared in a web of royal deception that will tarnish his name for all time. Entranced by his azure eyes and mesmerizing voice, Julie realizes she has a mission to fulfill. Only she can divert the tragedy that dooms Camelot...and Lancelot. But in saving the kingdom and the knight she has come to love, Julie puts her own heart in great peril...

O'Brien's newest time-travel romance intertwines the legends of Camelot and a contemporary love story--and not with great success. When advertising executive Julie Gaffney mysteriously arrives in the magical city after touching a suit of armor, Sir Lancelot becomes her guide and protector as she enters the world of King Arthur and his knights. Sir Malvern, Lancelot's enemy, plots the destruction of Camelot by poisoning Arthur's mind with suspicions concerning Lancelot and Guinevere; meanwhile, Julie falls in love with Lancelot as she tries to thwart Malvern's evil machinations. In a physical struggle over King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, all three of them are transported to New York City. Lancelot begins working in a homeless shelter, Julie finds new inspiration in her career, and Malvern haunts an old bookstore searching for clues that hold the key to usurping Arthur's throne. Despite an interesting premise, readers will be frustrated by the superfluous subplots and characters that overwhelm the love story and squander the magic of Camelot. (Nov.)
