by Kim Iverson Headlee
GENRE: Historical Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB
The gauntlet is thrown. One must die. Refusal is not
an option.
Arthur the High King of Breatein has fallen captive
of a longtime enemy, the Saxon warrior-princess Camilla, who lusts to
avenge the death of her betrothed at Gyan’s hands and will stop at nothing,
even the black arts, to achieve her goal. Because Gyan and Arthur have
grown estranged, she fears that Arthur may side with Camilla and make
her his new queen.
To meet Camilla’s challenge, Gyan must face
all her demons—public as well as private.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
The guard drew a long breath. “Your Majesty, it is time.”
Time to face all my demons,
private as well as public.
At her nod, he returned to
his post outside—a mite reluctantly, she observed.
“Any last advice?” she
asked Merlin at the tent’s entrance. She barked a mirthless laugh.
“How does one fight a demon?”
“You must not forget your
shield.”
She felt her eyebrows rise. “You know I am no novice warrior.”
“I am not talking of wood
and metal, Your Majesty.”

AUTHOR Bio
and Links:
Kim Headlee lives on a farm
in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees
goat guards, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go,
but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied
as recently as the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around
for a while yet.
Kim is a Seattle native and
a direct descendent of twentieth-century Russian nobility. Her grandmother
was a childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the
romantic yet tragic story of how Babushka escaped Communist Russia with
the aid of her American husband will most certainly one day fuel one
of Kim’s novels. Another novel in
the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century
proto-Viking king of the Swedish colony in Russia.
For the time being, however,
Kim has plenty of work to do in creating her projected 8-book Arthurian
series, The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and other
novels clamoring for attention. She has been a published novelist since
1999, beginning with the original editions of Dawnflight (Sonnet Books,
Simon & Schuster) and Liberty (writing as Kimberly Iverson, HQN
Books, Harlequin).
