Lucan Rourke is on a mission to find the Holy Grail, a prize with the power to heal his world and ensure the continuation of mankind. Armed with a map of the stars and ancient legends that claim Arthur and his knights of the round table appeared on Earth as mysteriously as they disappeared, Lucan journeys to Avalon, an ancient archeological site on the planet of Pendragon. But his 8-year quest is only beginning because Lucan isn't the only one seeking the prize. Lady Cael of Pendragon is the only dragonshaper on her moon, fated to live life without a mate. In human form, she's earned her position on the Avalon research team but her people still fear her dragon's fire. Lady Cael needs to bring down Avalon's impenetrable shield so Pendragon can avail itself of their rightful heritage, a prize that can heal their beleaguered planet. The passion between Lucan and Cael is immediate and undeniable but it's also dangerous. They must not waver from their mission. Can they join forces and work together to find the Holy Grail? Or will their growing desire leave them vulnerable to the forces dedicated to stealing the Grail and destroying the universe?
I am a big fan of the legend of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and Camelot. So when I find books that have their roots based in the Arthurian legends, I have to read them. Susan Kearney's Pendragon Legacy books have a strong basis in Arthurian legend.
I really liked the fact that this book took Arthurian legends and put a highly unique spin on them. Dragons have long been associated with King Arthur - I've read several books based on Arthurian legends that include dragons, but never have I seen a book that does so quite like this. To give you a clue as to what I mean would spoil the surprise of the book, so I can't tell you that, but let me say, this is so unique that it just must be read!
I'm anxiously awaiting confirmation that I'll be receiving the next book in this trilogy because I can't wait to read it. This book is absolutely captivating and spellbinding! If Arthurian legend holds interest for you, and if you like paranormal romance, this book is definitely for you!
