Eighteen-year-old Princess Gabriella Xavier is the final noble thread in an increasingly dull royal tapestry. As the kingdom of Camelot descends into complacency, an ambitiously sadistic madman known as Merodach advances his rogue armies, recruiting by the sword and threatening revolt... Gabriella is the only one who understands the severity of the threat, but is powerless to convince her father or her brave commoner husband, Darrick. With defeat all but certain, Gabriella sets out on a final, desperate quest. Her plan: to confront and defeat the madman Merodach before his armies can destroy everything she loves. Alone and on foot, she must cross the haunted magical wasteland known as the Tempest Barrens, where she is beset by mutant beasts, capricious magical creatures, and even the walking dead. In the end, wounded and hopeless, Gabriella finally confronts her nemesis and learns his final, horrible secret: he is not alone, and the forces he has allied with are far more powerful than anyone could have imagined.

About the Author
George Norman Lippert made a name for himself by writing fan fiction. His first book, “James Potter and the Hall of Elders’ Crossing”, was written in a bout of Post-Potter Depression after the release of the final Harry Potter book. Released online, JPHEC garnered a surprisingly large worldwide readership and attracted the attention of both Warner Bros. and J. K. Rowling (this when both parties were asked by the media if they were secretly responsible for it.) The following sequels, “Gatekeepers Curse” and “Vault of Destinies”, were well-received and well-reviewed enough, earning well over a million total readers worldwide, that the author decided to try his hand at writing something entirely original. “The Riverhouse,” a historical ghost story, reached number two on the amazon best-sellers list. “Ruins of Camelot” is the hopeful beginning of a new fantasy series, which will soon continue with the adventures of Gabriella’s progeny as they face the scattered remnants of the vampyre army that haunt their world. For now, however, Lippert has promised a new James Potter sequel, tentatively titled “James Potter and the Morrigan Web”. George Norman Lippert currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife and two children.

A Lippert Mega Fan,
By
This review is from: Ruins of Camelot (Kindle Edition)
This book manages to combine 'girl power' and Arthurian legend. In particular, I appreciate that although the book is fantasy, it conveys the power and impact that choices have on our lives...both long and short term. Having read many of G. Norman Lippert's books, it is easy to see that his growth as an author blossoms in this book. Well Done!

This review is from: Ruins of Camelot (Kindle Edition)
I became familiar with Mr. Lippert's work through his fanfiction. After reading his fascinating book, Girl on the Dock The Girl on the Dock: A Dark Fairy Tale I eagerly awaited Ruins of Camelot and was certainly not disappointed. He has once again created a strong female protagonist, a highly believable fantasy world, and a fully fleshed out and terrifying villain. The book was worth the wait, and I am already looking forward to his next offering. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Ruins of Camelot (Kindle Edition)
The format of this book, a story within a story, drew me in from the first few pages. Thomas and Yazim move the narrative along nicely and provide relief when things get tense. Gabriella herself is such an inspirational character! In a previous book, this author said, "...the right thing to do is always simple, but it is never easy." Gabriella Xavier saw what needed to be done, knew the odds were totally against her and forged ahead, regardless. I love these young adult novels that feature strong female protagonists. This might be a fantasy tale but it is quite relevant in our time when there is so much complacency. Gabriella is remarkable in not only her personal moral code but in making the hard choices. This is a great story from pre-teens to adults and I highly recommend it.
