The Heirs of Fate

About the Book

The Legends of King Arthur--what if Mallory got it wrong? What if the ancient script used by Troyes contained translation errors? What if the monks in the middle ages forgot to transpose the nouns and adjectives in the ancient Latin texts and what should have read 'rotunda on the plateau' instead came out as the nonsensical 'round table.' The Heirs of Fate unscrambles the puzzle and turns the Arthurian legends into a logical and more credible novel. With unforgettable characters and action-packed drama, Ms. Younkins has woven a novel that will be hard to put down. Set in the 5th and 6th Centuries C.E., the novel starts with Merlin's rise to fame, travels through Arthur's stellar achievements, and ends with the collapse of the Romano-Briton Empire.
