When a group of Nationalists use an ancient artifact to bring a villain from Arthurian myth back from the dead, retired monster hunter Bridgette McGuire pulls her unsuspecting grandson Duncan, a museum curator, into a world of magic and mysticism to defeat a legendary threat. Now the two must navigate the complicated history of the McGuire family, all while combating the deadly secrets of England’s past that threaten its very future.

Finally picked this one up and oh my goodness, it was a good one. I’m always up for a reimagining of classic stories and myths. This one takes the King Arthur myth and turns it on its head. The reader is thrown completely into the story with Duncan and left to figure put what exactly is going on. I loved encountering the various characters and attempting to understand their place in the larger story. I will be waiting on pins and needles for the next volume.
