Publisher's summary

Forbidden love and seductive intrigues intertwine in "Camelot's Echo: The Once and Future King,"
Where the pursuit of the Holy Grail becomes entangled with the clandestine affair between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere. As their passion casts shadows over Camelot's splendor, a war erupts, leading to the illicit seizure of the throne by the cunning Knight Sir Mordred.
The kingdom, once radiant, crumbles in a final, devastating battle. As King Arthur collapses with a mortal wound, legends speak of his journey to Avalon, where he lies in a deep sleep, waiting for the tower bell to ring and the mighty sword to be drawn. The inscription on his tomb declares him the "Once and Future King."

The book intertwines love, magic, destiny, and tragedy, leaving the listener captivated by the timeless tale of Camelot's rise and fall, echoing through the realms of myth and legend.

"The Once and Future King" stands as an enduring symbol of hope, a beacon that transcends time, promising the return of King Arthur to rule again when the call of destiny awakens him from his enchanted slumber.

Can the Legends of Camelot survive without their King or does King Arthur return. Prepare for a whirlwind of action, heroism, romance and suspense.

Short Arthurian Novella Prequel

For me I felt the narration to be lacking emotion. I liked the story but felt like the narration could have made some of the scenes feel more immersive. I felt like she was very monotone. Maggie wrote a good story that kept me listening dispite the lacklustre narration.
Overall I give this 4 stars for the story!

The narrator was perfect

This story is a perfect novella! The narrator's tone is a wonderful complement to the story. I was able to read this book and now being able to listen to it was even better!

I loved the combination of the tales of King Arthur and his knights. the author did a fantastic job weaving them all together!

Camelot

This is a good story for readers/listeners who are interested in tales of the Knights of the Round Table. It is a short story filled with intrigue that is true to the classic tale. The narrator does a wonderful job keeping you entertained throughout the story.

This Maggie McAllister's debut & I really enjoyed it!

This is the perfect prequel novella to begin the Celtic Pantheon series and is a great summary to what happens before book one: Lost Land Of The Forbidden. (Which I'm really excited to read!)

I've always enjoyed Mythology based books so this was right up my alley.

☆Amazing Prequel♡

This was such a great way to kick off this series! I am so glad I listened to the audio version. The narrator did a phenomenal job. Sometimes, I find that with narrations, the voice drags on. Not in this story, though. The voice flowed perfectly and kept me intrigued! I also really enjoyed how we got a bit of backstory leading up to what book one will be about, but enough was kept hidden to keep me guessing what will happen next. The story was fast-paced, and I loved every bit of it!

Tropes:
Historical Fantasy
Forbidden romance
Celtic Mythology
Quick Novella

5 stars

All The Kings Men: Legends Of Camelot (Celtic Pantheon), my first read from author Maggie McAllister and the prequel to the Celtic Pantheon. An enjoyable, well-written, entertaining 1-hour 14-minute/47-page Arthurian Fantasy read. “I was a given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." Narrator, Maria Johnson, did a wonderful job of narration; her accent was perfect for this tale. The Arthurian legend is such a part of literary history. If you search for King Arthur books on Amazon there are over 4000 finds. The same search on Goodreads nets over 6000 results. The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Perfect narrator for this story!

This prequel to the Celtic Pantheon series combines action, heroism, magic and romance. Maria Johnson's narration is outstanding and kept me engaged with her rich and warm storytelling. I highly recommend this quick read about the chosen King Author. I look forward to listening to more in the series if the same narrator tells the tales.
