Under Camelot's Banner (2006)
“The evening meal had passed and gone without attendance from her or the high king. The time had instead been spent in close council with Lynet Carnbrea over how things stood in Cambryn. So much said, so much left unsaid. Guinevere sat down in front of the fire while her ladies bustled around her.
