La Vie de Guinevere

The Once and Future Queen (La Vie de Guinevere #1) by Paula Lafferty

Legends are not finished stories, they wait for the right moment to awaken again.

In this sweeping reimagining of Arthurian myth, a grieving woman in present-day Glastonbury discovers that her ordinary life is only a veil. When Merlin arrives with secrets she cannot ignore, she is drawn into the past, where the fading magic of Camelot calls her by another name: Guinevere.

The series moves between centuries, binding modern loss to ancient destiny, and explores how identity is shaped by memory, choice, and love that transcends time. Rich with historical texture and the shimmer of magical realism, it offers more than a retelling of familiar tales. It invites readers into a world where romance, betrayal, and courage carry new weight, and where a queen once bound by legend has the chance to write her own future.

Acclaimed for its immersive atmosphere and praised for bringing freshness to one of the oldest stories in Western myth, La Vie de Guinevere opens the door to a Camelot both recognizable and startlingly new. With sequels already on the horizon, this series continues to unfold the question at its heart: what does it mean to be remembered not just as legend, but as a woman who lived?

La Vie de Guinevere consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
