In a galaxy torn apart by war, Princess Gwendolyn Evir embarks on a perilous quest to find the legendary sword Excalibur and the prophesied Analog, a descendant of King Arthur destined to wield it. Haunted by her mother's murder at the hands of the ruthless goddess Mórrígan, Gwen must navigate treacherous alliances and confront powerful enemies as she races against time to save her people, the Elves, from annihilation. Joined by unlikely allies, including the unassuming Earthling Carter Hurley, Gwen battles Goblins, uncovers ancient secrets, and faces her own inner demons in a desperate bid to fulfill her mission. As the fate of countless worlds hangs in the balance, Gwen must learn to trust in herself and those around her if she hopes to triumph over the forces of darkness threatening to consume everything she holds dear. An epic tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope. GWEN'S GAMBIT is the first book in a new science fiction trilogy fusing Arthurian legend, alien empires, and space opera adventure. Discover a richly-imagined universe of valiant Knights, desperate quests and powerful Gods where the fate of billions hangs on the courage of a few young heroes fighting to save us all.
