From Gaul, through Old Britannia, to the far shores of Iceland, an empire was established by the light and strength of primitive Christianity, opposed by malevolent forces.
For half of a millennium the British Isles were ruled by Rome, until the Sixth Legion was recalled to the mainland. Without a united defense, the ancient Britons suffered unimaginable carnage as wave after wave of Picts, Angles, Saxons, and Frisians pillaged and conquered their land, ushering in an era of paganism. However, in the midst of this darkness there was one season of light, an interlude of peace. The Age of the Princess of Selgovae is not known by her name, but by the name of the High King who loved her.
Arthurian legends are the supreme sagas of all time, surviving the maze of centuries—inspiring nobility and hope for a future utopia of like grandeur. In them are found examples of exceptional goodness and abysmal wickedness. Chivalry and love abound, as do the contrasts of barbarism and seduction. There are tales of courageous faith, rousing us to gallantry—and stories of the occult, fearfully warning of depths to which men and angels fall. There is distinctive style to the symbols and types of this era—kings and queens, immortals and demigods, wizards and witches, dragons and lions.
Outside of Holy Writ, ancient histories are sparse and interwoven with myth. However, by carefully examining the worn cloth of ages we discover golden strands of hidden truth. In A Tetralogy of Tales are amazing stories, untold for centuries.

4 stars:

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this book! I was a bit hesitant at first because this is not normally the type of book I read (I’m typically a fantasy book reader), but I think this book combined many of the tropes I love, creating an overall enjoyable experience. I love a sweet romance, I’m always here for knights and princesses, and I like a little bit of otherworldly magic…and The Princess of Selgovae contained all of those things. Highly recommend for fantasy readers and historical fiction readers alike!

I listened to the audiobook and while the narrator was not my favorite, I still really enjoyed the story. It took me a while to get used to the narration style, but that didn’t detract from the story and didn’t factor in to my review of the book.

Knigh, kings, and princesses!

Thank you so much to the author for collaborating and sending me a free copy of his book!

The Princess of Selgovae is a beautifully written knight story that includes a plethora of tropes that would appeal to many readers. For example, the story includes war, romance, adventure, history, witchcraft, and other topics. Witchcraft and love sold it for me, honestly!

I absolutely adore tales of kings, knights, princesses, and royal love. I don't care how many books are out there that fit this description, I will continue to read them. However, The Princess of Selgovae is quite different from the books in this genre.

What I am most impressed about this book is how much research Gibby had to do for this book (or at least I think he had to do!) This book talks myths, Rome, the British Isles, and hardships. I'm not well versed on these topics, so they were interesting to read about, even if this book is a work of fiction. Gibby's writing kept me intrigued, even as I was taking in all this information about the world at this time and the wars happening.

And of course there is a love story woven in there because what good knight/king book doesn't have? I loved reading about the princess and the high king over the span of 12 chapters.

Overall, this book was extremely entertaining and something I would recommend to readers who enjoy these sorts of retellings. I cannot wait to read more!

A Fresh, Novel Take on a Timeless Classic

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

This first book sets the stage for a fresh take on a beloved classic by centering the story on a character that traditionally until now has been treated as little more than a plot device. In this re-imagining of the tale, the author finally gives them their just due as he deftly combines the narrative voice of Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur with the artfully crafted allegory of Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. The result is a worthy addition to the body of Arthurian romance, and rightly deserves a place on the shelf of any avid reader of the lore of Camelot.

A Time Forgotten.

I decided to read something entirely different from my regular choice of reading materials. I am an avid reader of mystery novels. However, the entry to the world of medieval ‘Knights of the Round Table’ by Bryce Gibby has forever broadened my reading selections! This enthralling tale captured my interest from the onset and kept me reading almost non-stop for two days (until I had finished the book). The real-life characters and the visual ability of the writer to place the reader at this intriguing time period was superb. I highly recommend this book for anyone … including those that have never thought they would enjoy reading this time period.

Captivating amalgamation of legend, myth, and historical fiction which tells the tale of the birth of the Arthurian Legend. Selgovae may or may not have existed, but Bryce Gibby makes it come alive. It is also a tender and inspiring story perfectly grounded in just the right amount of fantasy.

A Grand Adventure Story!

This is a grand adventure story! It includes intrigue, romance, war and history. To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I read it quickly and had a hard time putting it down. I found the story fascinating, the history interesting and even the spiritual undertones made sense in this context.
