Mordred (Legendary character)
2 Reviews
(4)
YA
Shadow Grail series.
In this series conclusion, Spirit White and her friends discover that they are reincarnated Arthurian knights and ladies (Spirit is Guinevere); acquire powerful magical weapons; and enlist former Oakhurst Academy students in order to defeat medieval villain Mordred. The mythology element becomes increasingly tedious, but the book culminates in a classic good-versus-evil battle, with Spirit courageously leading the fight.

YA
This sequel to The Winter Prince is a gripping tale of danger, nobility, power, and love. The exotic culture and well-developed code of honor of the Aksumite court give this post-Arthurian/ancient-Ethiopian fusion its striking flavor. With her thorough command of historic characters, a grand scope, and a swift-paced, heroic plot, Wein has laid out an appealing and sumptuous literary banquet.
