From the award-winning, critically acclaimed pen of Kim Iverson Headlee comes the fall of Camelot as you have never seen it before. The death of their mother knells the death of any hope for a joyful future for Gyan's identical twin daughters, Yfarryn and Gwenhwyfach. Their father, Arthur the High King, wastes no time in announcing firstborn Yfarryn's betrothal to Medraut-the man whom Gwenhwyfach secretly loves. And Yfarryn is in love with Angusel's son, Lannchu. The twins conspire to defy Fate and trade places. They know how ambitious is their scheme, for Yfarryn is trained in the domestic arts and Gwenhwyfach has chosen the warrior's path, yet the sisters are confident of success. Fate, however, shall not be defied. If you think you know how Camelot fell, read Twins. Incorporating ancient Welsh legends of the "False Guinevere" and "Feasting the Hungry Man," and featuring many characters introduced in Dawnflight, Morning's Journey, and Raging Sea, this glimpse into their destiny, thirty years after the setting of those novels, reveals the destruction of Arthur's realm that's unique in all of Arthurian literature.

A funny thing happened on the way to the battlefield. Arthur, High King of Brydein, must fight the last of the rebel kings to acknowledge his right to govern them all: his old nemesis, King Urien of Dalriada. Before he can lead his army to where Urien's forces sit ensconced, however, a fey man appears from the midst of a sudden, eerie storm to block the way. The man claims to be the high king of an altogether unknown land... and he wields uncanny power the likes of which Arthur has never seen. Garrin, High King of Helvar, steps into a patch of mist. A breath later, he's standing toe to toe with a man claiming to be the high king of an altogether unknown land... and this warrior-king is leading an army into Helvar, wielding a sword that resists Garrin's magic. Only, the man insists that his sword isn't enchanted, and that Garrin isn't in Helvar anymore. What the bloody hell-or five hells, in Garrin's case-is a high king to do? Their encounter reeks of an enemy mage's dark arts, and no one is laughing.
