Summary of Gwenhwyfar Summary of Gwenhwyfar Reviews for Gwenhwyfar An Excerpt from Gwenhwyfar
The bestselling author of the Valdemar novels pens a classic tale about King Arthur’s legendary queen.

Gwenhwyfar moves in a world where gods walk among their pagan worshipers, where nebulous visions warn of future perils, and where there are two paths for a woman: the path of the Blessing or the rarer path of the Warrior.
