The Witch Queen's Secret: Anna Elliott Freebie!

Last year, I read my very first Arthurian-style read when I reviewed Anna Elliott's Twilight of Avalon. It was one of my favorite reads last year because of the intelligent writing that entertained me with an entirely new story for me which was that of Isolde and Trystan. You can read my review and get more background here.

In honor of Anna's release date of September 14 for book two in her Avalon series, Dark Moon of Avalon, (which I am looking forward to reading soon!) she is offering a couple of freebie short stories as a gift to readers!

The first, titled The Witch Queen's Secret, is available now; you can download it for free in various e-reader and printer compatible forms on Anna's website here. Or (because of Amazon policy) it's available for 99 cents on the Kindle store here.

The Witch Queen's Secret
Between Books I and II in the Twilight of Avalon Trilogy

Dera owes Britain's former High Queen Isolde her life. But as an army harlot, the life she leads is one of degradation and often desperate danger, with small hope for the future either for Dera or for her small son.

Through a Britain torn by war with Saxon invaders, Dera makes her way to Dinas Emrys, last stronghold of Britain's army, to beg Queen Isolde's help once more. Isolde offers Dera a new life, both for herself and for her child. But when Dera and Isolde uncover a treasonous plot, Dera must leave her little boy and undertake a dangerous mission, the outcome of which comes to her as a stunning, but wonderful, surprise.

And as she risks her life, Dera also draws nearer to Queen Isolde's most closely-guarded secret: one that Britain's courageous witch-queen may be hiding even from herself.

Anna also explains that this "middle" story is self-contained; you don't have to have read any of the Trystan and Isolde books to understand The Witch Queen's Secret.
