When Gareth Powell is swept from a modern museum into King Arthur's Camelot, an unexpected love may change his future--and the legend itself.
Gareth Powell is a modern-day archaeologist with a craftsman's hands and a scientist's mind. He's drawn into sixth-century Camelot after an encounter with the enigmatic Mrs. McQuivey--and her peculiar costume shop. One moment he is overseeing a British Museum King Arthur exhibit; the next, he is standing within King Arthur's very stronghold, tasked with crafting the round table itself, facing dangers no textbook or dig could ever have prepared him for, and finding his footing with one of the most beautiful, intelligent women he has ever met.
In Camelot, Lynette is loyal to her king and devoted to her cousin Guinevere, but she is deeply wary of magic. So when a stranger arrives bearing impossible knowledge, unfamiliar tools, and a quiet strength that unsettles Lynette's heart, she keeps her distance. But with treachery threatening Arthur's throne and enemies skulking in the shadows, Lynette must decide whether to maintain caution or to trust the mysterious new carpenter who claims to have traveled through centuries and is quickly stealing her heart.
Bound by courage, sacrifice, and a growing love that defies their differing pasts, Gareth and Lynette are drawn into a perilous struggle to save Queen Guinevere and King Arthur's kingdom. Yet the pull of time that brought Gareth to Camelot is relentless and may demand a terrible price--he just might have to return to his modern life without the woman who has claimed his heart.
