Ms. Pendragon [Mass Market Paperback]

Michele Lang (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 2006

She’s running out of time…can Gwen stop an ancient curse from destroying Camelot and New York City?

Gwen, killer NYC litigator, finds out she's the reincarnation of Queen Guinevere. To save New York, she must go back in time to fix the disaster she caused in Camelot.

Magical nonsense? Not when there’s an evil being lurking in her refrigerator, intent on capturing her. Not when Merlin, great mage of Camelot, pops up in the Big Apple on a motorcycle in search of her. And especially not when Gwen finds out that the sexy maniac holding a sword to her throat is Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot…and her husband.

Gwen is both the Queen and the curse. She’s Ms. Pendragon. And she’s the only one who can rescue the past…and the future.

A wicked and witty tale of love in Camelot, this is a reissue of Michele Lang’s first book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and new view of Camelot...., January 23, 2007

This review is from: Ms. Pendragon (Mass Market Paperback)

Gwen knows she has a serious problem when she finds the undead thing calling itself Mordred hiding in her refrigerator. Soon, she finds herself swept back to a time of magic when Camelot still peacefully exists. King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table are all there, waiting to see what fate they'll have this time around. What choices will Gwen, aka MS. PENDRAGON, make when she gets a second chance?

MS. PENDRAGON is a splendid blend of romance, fantasy, and magic. Camelot is once again revived, but this time as viewed through the eyes of modern day lawyer, Gwen. Gwen doesn't remember her life as Guinevere, nor do most of the Knights know of the fate that awaits them in the original tale with the betrayal of Arthur. Those that do remember are torn between the strength of character found in Gwen and their memories of the much milder Guinevere. The tensions caused as a result of a future that hasn't even occurred make for some interesting situations as each character has to sort out their feelings about what hasn't yet happened with what is actually occurring this time around.

Michele Lang excels at writing books that are both entertaining and thought provoking and MS. PENDRAGON is no exception. Ms. Lang puts her own mystical touch to this tale, creating an entirely new type of Camelot legend. The ending is a beautiful set up for the sequel, MISTS OF MANHATTAN, as the reader finishes MS. PENDRAGON thoroughly satisfied yet eagerly anticipating the next book.

Michele Lang continues to produce superb stories with her unique metaphysical flair. MS. PENDRAGON is a fascinating story with just the right touch of humor to keep it from becoming too serious. Readers should grab a copy of MS. PENDRAGON as this is one phenomenal story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Pengradon is a great read as well as a great romance!!!!, November 2, 2006

This review is from: Ms. Pendragon (Mass Market Paperback)

Ms. Pengradon is a great read as well as a great romance. This re-telling of the Camelo story from Gueiviere's perspective features the sexiest King Arthur ever (you've got to read the scene where King Arthur interrupts Guieneiver in her bath of rose petals), as well as a truly absorbing tale of Gueinviere's journey of self-discovery. It also has just plain great writing, descriptions, and romance! I enjoyed this romance novel more than any other!

5.0 out of 5 stars Furiously Fun Read, January 15, 2007

This review is from: Ms. Pendragon (Mass Market Paperback)

I don't remember how I discovered Michele Lang, but I sure am glad I did. Her book, which I understand is the first of a series, is a magical, fun adventure. It's written in a hip and witty New York fashion, but its content is often quite mystical and romantic. The combination of the two styles makes Ms. Pendragon a very unique reading experience. It taps our innermost fantasies and memories of childhood legends and fast-forwards us into our present, modern, hectic reality. It is sexy and funny. And fascinating. A must read!
