Crown of Dreams (2013)
“What a nightmare! His cousin Rhianna had been standing over him with Excalibur, wearing the missing jewel from the Crown of Dreams around her neck. He’d woken up just as she brought the sword down to crush his skull.
He checked the crown was safe and scowled about the cave. His men had stabled the horses in one of the tunnels behind the waterfall and built a fire at the entrance. They had furnished this alcove for him from the dragon’s treasure, but his captain should have been back by now.... How long did it take to ride to Camelot and get a jewel off a silly maid? It would be winter soon, and then the rain would turn to snow. He shuddered at the thought of being trapped in such a godforsaken place until spring.
The crown glittered in the candlelight, mocking him. So pretty, and yet so useless – its jewels hiding magic he dared not use. He snatched it up, limped over to his mother’s body and prodded her blackened bones with a spear.MoreLess
