Between the Rival Courts - Victoria Mier

From the author of the Fatebound Duology comes an ambitious Arthurian retelling about a banished witch and a changeling knight forced to join forces if they want to survive. 

All Nyneve Or’Afon needs to do is prove herself to the Druid Elders. Then the young sorceress can go home—back to her magic and her studies, pursuing all the mysteries the world has to offer.

But there’s a rather large obstacle in her way: the handsome and cunning Sir Mordred Pendragon, knight of the Round Table and bastard son of King Arthur. From the very first moment they meet, he’s deeply suspicious of Nyneve. After all, Mordred knows exactly what an outsider with a secret looks like.

Because he is one—a faerie changeling embedded in King Arthur’s court, to be exact. And if anyone could uncover that dangerous truth, it’s the spellbinding sorceress who makes him weak in the knees … which means Mordred will do almost anything to get Nyneve out of Camelot. 

But as war brews, a notorious sorcerer returns and an ancient god tests the walls of his prison, Mordred and Nyneve find their similarities growing into a dangerous attraction—and a necessary alliance if they have any chance of surviving what’s to come.

Perfect for fans of My Name is Morgan and The Guinevere Deception, Between the Rival Courts is a sweeping medieval fantasy about conquest, religion, power, and perhaps the deadliest of them all: relentless, unyielding love.
