She agrees to marry Urien, the heir of Clan Moray, because uniting their clans will bring prosperity and peace to both. But from the start Gyan's heart tells her she's making a mistake. So is he, especially when she beats him at swordplay. Trained to fight as well as rule, few women in the world can match Gyan's ability with a sword. As much a historical novel as a romance, Gyan's tale does not end with the closing page of Dawnflight .
All signs point to at least one sequel, possibly more.
I can't wait to see what Headlee does with the Lancelot story. It's hard to believe that this young man could come between Arthur and Gyan, but I'm sure that in Headlee's capable hands, anything is possible. Dawnfligh t 's Guinevere proves to be an inspiration. The book will delight fans of the legend who've wondered why Arthur's wife always has to be such a darn wimp.
