Publisher Description
All she wants is to fight for Arthur and Britain.
Lady Mair is a daughter of Corneus—the house of perfect warriors—and wants only to serve Arthur, War Duke of Britain, as her brothers Lucan and Bedivere do. Yet King Alun of Brocéliande wants to make her his queen, which would mean leaving Britain and Arthur’s court.
Alun’s younger brother and Mair’s best friend, Rawn, sees things as Mair does—nothing is more important than being the best warriors they can be.
Only Mair is entangled in the politics of the kings and leaders surrounding Arthur, just as his army prepares to fight two major battles in one summer, and people wonder when Arthur will become High King of Britain.
Plus, Rawn is hiding secrets of his own, that run counter to Mair’s desperate wish to be free to fight for Britain.
This novel is part of the historical fantasy romance series, Once and Future Hearts, set in Britain during the time of King Arthur.

Praise for High King of Britain
Just go with the story as the author lays it out based on historical research from the period and it's really a much better story than you have heard before.
You will long remember this series. Thank you Tracy for this deeply moving look into the beloved King Arthur legend.
The sword. I love this explanation for how the sword ends up in the stone. Such a great idea.
Tracy managed to humanize these larger than life icons into a story that resonates with everyone.
I think I'd like this book even if I hadn't read the others in the series.
This series makes what always seemed an impossible legend and makes it a believable tale.
Without a doubt, this is the best of the best of Arthurian Legends. Tracy Cooper Posey has created a living and breathing story that you don't want to put down.
It is an amazing read.
If you've read and loved King Arthur, you will love this story. Arthur come alive with a different spin.
I emerged from ancient Britain several hours later, having finished the book. I just couldn't stop reading.
Not just a good series, a GREAT one. You cannot go wrong with this one.
This story will stick with me for a long time. This a story that could have actually happened, not an Arthur fairy tale.

Customer Reviews
Dear HBO: I found your new hit series
The High King of Britain is set only a few short years after War Duke of Britain ended, so the books are closer together (in timeframes) now and things are moving more quickly.
In this book we see many more battles against the Saxons, new fighting techniques taught by Lancelot, political intrigue, the return of Morgan (and whatever evil plan she’s setting in place) and the introduction of Excalibur!
The love story focus in this book is between Mair and Arawn Uther. Mair has set her mind against all affairs of the heart and has dedicated herself to becoming the best warrior for Arthur, believing the two can’t mix. When Mair and Rawn’s close friendship becomes more, she fights it almost as hard as she fights off Saxons in the Queen’s cohort.
I really liked this book as it had a lot of edge of your seat action and more elements of King Arthur’s legend we all know and love like Excalibur and even a vague mention from Arthur that he doesn’t like long tables because it’s difficult to see everyone he’s speaking to, unlike when he and his high council sit in a circle around the campfire. Maybe a round table will be more than just an idea in one of the upcoming books.
