I spent my life in service to my king, loyal to my queen, and loved by them both. Until she ruined me.

Guinevere made her choice and it wasn’t me. So I sought out a way to fight the pain of losing her...of losing them both. Eternally languishing in purgatory was not what I had in mind. But now, hundreds of years later, I’ve been returned to life for a reason. The end times are here, and I’m the one chosen to help stop the apocalypse.

I only wish the woman I’m bound to wasn’t the very one I’d tried to forget.

My Gwen had a secret she never shared in our past life together. She’s a witch, cursed to live forever, and she’s never forgiven me for what happened between us.

I am Lancelot du Lac. I was her champion once, I will be again, and this time, I won’t so willingly share.

Gwen and Lance definitely have a troubled past, but they must overcome this to save the world from evil. I loved listening to this book and the twists that I didn’t see coming. It definitely leaves you with a bit of a cliffhanger that will have you running to the store to get the next book.

Kim Loraine continues to surprise me with every book she releases. Each with its own special something keeps me coming back to her writing. This one in particular had me gripped through the entire story. A continuation of the Siren series, it gives us Gwen, the third Siren. As I was listening to the twist on King Arthur’s story, I was sure i was going to figure out who Gwen would end up with. This paranormal gem has me still guessing. Lancelot, Arthur and Gwen have a love triangle that just don’t give an inch. And I have my suspicions on the outcome, but this won’t be verified til the next book in this duet comes out. Bringing in the Sirens to cohesively meld the series gives us the familiarity I love and adds another layer of depth to this incredible series.

Shane East and Kylie Stewart bring it all to life with their fantastic narration. They add the emotional push pull of the characters, add so many inflections giving power to the story. I enjoyed it and can’t wait for the conclusion.

A twist on Lancelot & Gwen!

Warning: Cliffhanger
While this story is the first in a duet, it's third in another series which I think I would have benefited from listening to first as there are parts of the backstory that are unclear. Additionally, I'm only vaguely familiar with the stories of Camelot, King Arthur, Guinnevere, and Lancelot. That being said, the story holds its own and adds an interesting take on their tale leaving with a cliffhanger.

Kylie Stewart and Shane East did a fantastic job narrating and portraying the characters.

I would definitely recommend this book and encourage the listening to the earlier stories in the series.

I received a free audible code through a Facebook group giveaway and am providing my honest review voluntarily.

I love romance novels but stay in the contemporary genre until this book due to the engaging author and my love of the announced narrators caused me to pre-order. I am so glad that I did as this book has everything I love in contemporary romance in a setting that while Fantasy-based was fun and intriguing. Ms. Loraine had created complex characters in her "Royal Virgin" series, which I devoured those audio-books, and was happy to find the same dedication to characters in this book.

The story is a retelling of the characters from the ages old Camelot: Guinevere, Arthur & Lancelot but with such a great twist it felt new and refreshing while still playing upon the traditions of the legend. The book is technically number 3 in Loraine's "The Siren Coven" series but I didn't feel lost to the overall story arc as the main characters from the initial books were woven in very well to Guinevere and Lancelot's story. The flaming heat I love in contemporary romance is found between the "lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers" chronicle and when the additional character of Brooks enters the scene the flames get even hotter!!

With so many characters one would think the narration would be difficult to follow, but that is not the case with fantastic performances by Kylie Stewart & Shane East. Ms. Stewart's Guinevere cam through clearly as passionate and determined to resolve not only her present circumstance of missing powers but to find balance with her heart's desire for her lost love Lancelot. Whilst mainly speaking for Guinevere, Stewart's other personalities had a life of their own that were distinguishable and fun to hear.

Mr. East ...... need I say more? Seriously though, there was a video and an audio clip of his narration before pre-ordering began that sparked my interest in this book. The stubborn nature of Lancelot, his desire for Guinevere even after centuries apart, and the growling nature of passion all add up to a burning narration that you cannot stop playing.

But wait, there's more!!! We are left with a cliffhanger and waiting for book 2, "Immortal Flame" to release in a few weeks. I know I'll be listening again to Ms. Loraine's words from these two super stars of the audible world!!!!

This is the third book in the Siren Coven Series, and the first book in The Excalibur Duet. Lancelot, Arthur and Gwen triangle story is amazing, suspenseful, and intriguing. This book has it all! Great World Building on the King Arthur Legend, Great Characters, Great Storyline!
