“Such small words — ‘I think you should prepare yourself for the worst’. When I heard them I assumed my life would end, but I will not lose Arthur so easily and the fight is worth winning, I just have to hope the cost is worth paying.”
Lancelot and Arthur face their final battle to bring peace to their war torn world, but their fates twist once more and Arthur lies on the edge of death. In desperation Lancelot uses his fey blood and calls for help from Albion. The Lady of the Lake answers but she strikes a bargain for the King’s life. In exchange Lancelot must go into service for a year and a day.
So begins his training to become the Greatest Champion of Albion. With Aedden gone, Albion must find a new king and The Lady wants the role. It will be Lancelot’s task to secure it for her. When they eventually arrive in The City, Lancelot, bound by a geis of silence, once more meets Tancred and realises their love has never faded.
Between them they know that they need to choose the right leader for Albion to protect Camelot. But there is just one way to seal the deal. Lancelot must marry and win the hardest battle of his career.

So, we have another book which had to be devoured. Lancelot returns again to defend Camelot as a threat has arisen. Arthur is wounded in battle and Lancelot calls out with his Fey blood for help, to the Lady of the Lake.
Now, unlike the stories, the Lady is a stone cold bitch. There's no nice way to put that. She's cold hearted and greedy and flaunts her power. She has no love for Arthur and apparently despises anything sexual. She is the cousin of Nimue and she wants the throne. She intends to use Lancelot to get it. So she heals Arthur in exchange for Lancelot's service of a year and a day. She has him retrained to fight for her as her champion to win her the throne, determined to turn the Fey race into prudes apparently.
Lancelot has no choice, as if he defies her she can immediately kill Arthur. So he takes up an enchanted sword of his own and goes to fight for the Lady. He is reunited with Tancred, whose relationship with the full Fey apparently didn't work so well, as Lancelot's half brother doesn't understand the concept of monogamy. Together with Morgana, they hatch a plan to keep the Lady off the throne and insert Lancelot instead. Of course, it's never simple and Merlin has his hands in things again. So just when Lancelot thinks he'll have peace as ruler of Albion and no longer under Arthur's influence, he's given a mission from the actual gods themselves to lead us into the next story.
FYI, I don't much like Tancred at the moment. Yeah, he's supposed to be the better match since he can give stability but his insecurity irks me, and his reasoning for leaving Rafe, Lancelot's brother, would personally make me punch him in the face. Oh, so you don't like being abused and somewhat discarded. Gee, what the hell did you think would happen with a full Fey being given power over you, moron? Also, I'm hoping Merlin takes a bit bigger of a role in coming books, simply because I'm partial to the Merlin character and want to see what he can do. I can't wait to get to the next book.

My favourite of the series thus far though Lance's waffling is getting annoying.
