The Third Magic (2014)
“Cheneus was even then not in the best of health, and could no longer travel. This greatly dismayed Morgause, who had married the old man mainly to get out of Orkney. She had anticipated a life of gaiety in the court formed around King Arthur's famous Round Table, with knights from every chiefdom in the Kingdom, but things were not turning out the way she had planned. Each day Morgause's eyes shifted toward her grizzled husband, while her thoughts ran toward species of lethal herbs.
Fortunat...ely, the ever ambitious Lot of Rheged invaded Dumnonia, killing all of Cheneus's sons and, once Cheneus himself was mysteriously poisoned, taking Morgause as his own wife.
This turn of events was not looked upon kindly by the other nine chieftains, who had all made efforts to comply with the High King's plans for a united Britain. Since Arthur's assumption of the throne, the petty skirmishes between the chiefdoms had ceased. Valuable men and arms were no longer wasted in pointless civil wars.MoreLess
