“Magnificent.” ~ Kathleen Foley, author of the Faith in Uniform series

In a violent age when enemies besiege Brydein and alliances shift as swiftly as the wind, stand two remarkable leaders: the Caledonian warrior-queen Gyanhumara and her consort, Arthur the Pendragon. Their fiery love is tempered only by their conviction to forge unity between their disparate peoples. Arthur and Gyan must create an impenetrable front to protect Brydein and Caledonia from land-lusting Saxons and the marauding Angli raiders who may be massing forces in the east, near Arthur’s sister and those he has sworn to protect.

But their biggest threat is an enemy within: Urien, Arthur’s rival and the man Gyan was treaty-bound to marry until she broke that promise for Arthur’s love. When Urien becomes chieftain of his clan, his increase in wealth and power is matched only by the magnitude of his hatred of Arthur and Gyan—and his threat to their infant son.

Morning’s Journey, sequel to the critically acclaimed Dawnflight, propels the reader from the heights of triumph to the depths of despair, through the struggles of some of the most fascinating characters in all of Arthurian literature. Those struggles are exacerbated by the characters’ own flawed choices. Gyan and Arthur must learn that while extending forgiveness to others may be difficult, forgiveness of self is the most excruciating—yet ultimately the most healing—step of the entire journey.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Headlee's writings about King Arthur should be required reading for high school and college students. Her writing style is, in itself, magnificent. As we discovered in Dawnflight, Headlee is well researched and educated on both the Pictish and Roman cultures as they merged and became the dark ages version of the British." - Kathleen Foley --This text refers to the paperback edition.

A great historical romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2015

I got the book from the author and Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock in exchange for an honest review.
Morning's Journey is the second book on The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles. Therefore, I suggest you to read the first book on the series if you don’t want to get confused. Since I didn’t read the first book it took me quite a while to figure out the situation the characters were in and how they end up there. The story seems to take place in the middle ages. As soon as I heard Arthur Pendragon I couldn’t help but think this story will be about Camelot, Merlin and Morgana. However, it seems it was wrong. Don’t take me wrong, I would have loved to see those characters but the author did a pretty good job in building a unique story in a time span that seems to be quite similar. Our main characters are Gyanhumara or Gyan, for short, and Arthur Pendragon. Gyan isn’t only a warrior queen but also Arthur's consort. At first I was confused as to why she was a consort. I wasn’t sure if it was out of love or if it was for the good of their people. However, I came to realize that, of course, there was this fiery love. I don’t want to do a spoiler in case you haven’t read the book but in order not to get confused you need to know that Gyan had a betrothed before Arthur. Guess love conquers all because now our hero and heroine are together and waiting for nine months to pass, if you catch my meaning.
I liked Gyan character. She is a natural born leader but sometimes it can be difficult to give that position to someone else when you have other duties to attend to like being pregnant. The poor woman had all that stress and to make matters worse her ex-betrothed came into the picture to threaten her, Arthur and the not yet born baby. Arthur was also a likable character. In fact, even though Gyan and Arthur are supposed to be these fiery warriors, they are quite charming, funny and sweet. There were times when I felt I would melt by how sweet this feared warriors but respected warriors talked to each other. I really wish to say the story didn’t have any grieving and that there was no conflict between them. However, if that was the case then there wouldn’t be a story to tell. I found myself crying to some point of the story and I felt quite empathic when it came to Gyan but I also understood Arthur's actions and feelings. They both had different duties and the just acted in the way they thought was best but…that doesn’t mean by doing so it won’t kill you, slowly. This isn’t a story just about politics or war but also about how love and forgiveness conquer love and guide a couple on the rightful path.
I highly recommend this story to anyone that loves a good historical romance that covers not only drama and action but that it holds a very special lesson on personal growth and forgiveness. Nonetheless, I recommend you have a tissue or two near if you are as emotional as me.

2nd in the series - should be read as such

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2013

Picking up where the first in the series left off, Headlee returns to her reworking of the Arthurian legend with her uniquely crafted cast of characters. Gyanhumara and Artyr are married and soon to be separated: the struggle to unite Britain is ongoing.

Gyan and Artyr are learning to cooperate: being raised as a leader Gyan is unwilling to cede to Artyr's primacy without a battle. Fortunately, Artyr is coming to realize that much of what Gyan fights for makes an odd sort of sense: and her planning and battle sense is second to none.

Still Urien is looking to cause trouble: like a child who lost his favored toy to a sandbox bully his ability to work a slight into a grievous concern and hold a grudge are legendary. Still wholly without redeeming features, his upcoming marriage to Artyr's half-sister is less reason for rejoicing as the two have designs on the pendragonship.

With a threat from other kings in the region, potential mutiny from Urien and the constant need to juggle the competing desires, including their own: this installment is action-packed for both Artyr and Gyan.

Again the writing is lovely, and the insertions of moments of the newly developing Christianity combined with legends and gods of old, manx and gaelic phrasing and characters that have a familiarity from the old legends all combine to make a page turning story that gives a new life to old stories. Mixing in the familiar with the reworked and redefined characters is a tricky and risky prospect, but works to perfection in this book.

You cannot, however, pick up this book without reading the first: you will be hopelessly lost in the plot: and you will have missed the great character of Gyan: her input and prior information is integral to the flow of this installment.

I received an eBook from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Intriguing sequel!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2013

Morning's Journey is the sequel to Dawnflight and my favorite of the two! This series is an epic tale of Arthurian mythology. What I love most about this series is that the characters are created in new ways. The cast of characters are those with whom all lovers of Arthurian literature are familiar, but presented in a completely different way. It is the alternate reality version of mythology! And it is one that is definitely a bit darker and grittier than most!

I love a book that can push its way into my head and keep me hooked. This book did this for me, even more than the first. It picks up right after Dawnflight ends, and right into the midst of Gyan's nightmare, predicting Urien's win. It was a dramatic, and bloody, start to the ongoing sage of Arthur and Gyan! There are a lot of these heart-pounding, full of anticipation scenes, the kind of scenes that keep you turning the pages.

Being a student of mythology, I can thoroughly appreciate the sheer amount of research that the author has done with this series. The weaving of myth and history is beautiful to read, and seamlessly done. I love, love, love the blending of myths from different cultures, and this author is an expert at doing so!

Things to love about Morning's Journey...

-The mythology. The cultures referenced in this book are historically accurate, but she blends their mythology together in new and interesting ways that make you look at the Arthurian stories in an entirely new light.
-The very real struggles of Arthur and Gyan. I love that,despite being epic characters, they have their own personal struggles. My favorite is Gyan's struggle to realize her new life NOT as a leader.

My recommendation: For lovers of Arthurian stories, a definite must read. However, you should most definitely read Dawnflight first as these truly are an epic saga from one book to the next.
