One of the most powerful early medieval queens in British history, Languoreth ruled at a time of enormous disruption and bloodshed, when the burgeoning forces of Christianity threatened to obliterate the ancient pagan beliefs and change her way of life forever. Together with her twin brother Lailoken, a warrior and druid known to history as Merlin, Languoreth is catapulted into a world of danger and violence. When a war brings the hero Emrys Pendragon, to their door, Languoreth collides with the handsome warrior Maelgwn. Their passionate connection is forged by enchantment, but Languoreth is promised in marriage to Rhydderch, son of the High King who is sympathetic to the followers of Christianity. As Rhydderch's wife, Languoreth must assume her duty to fight for the preservation of the Old Way, her kingdom, and all she holds dear. \"Moving, thrilling, and ultimately spellbinding\" (BookPage), The Lost Queen brings this remarkable woman to life--rescuing her from obscurity, and reaffirming her place at the center of the most enduring legends of all time. \"Moving, thrilling, and ultimately spellbinding, The Lost Queen is perfect for readers of historical fiction like The Clan of the Cave Bear and Wolf Hall, and for lovers of fantasy like Outlander and The Mists of Avalon\" (BookPage).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigne Pike is the author of \u003ci\u003eForgotten Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, and the travel memoir \u003ci\u003eFaery Tale, \u003c\/i\u003e and has researched and written about Celtic history and folklore for more than a decade.
