The Lost Queen by Signe Pike

A classic pre-Arthur period novel about lineage, politics, love, and king-making. This is the first of what I hope will be multiple novels which explore the very early history of the British Isles and the Pendragon name. Men may lead others into battle and hold all the power but it is the women like Lanuoreth who make decisions that will save the family. A doomed love affair between Languoreth and Maelgwn will pit families against each other and test political alliances. Languoreth will wed the powerful man to whom she is pledged but must also save her brother and continue the line of seers from which she came. For all fans of British history, this story also has just enough politics and drama to satisfy those hungry for more "Game of Thrones" and "The Last Kingdom.
