Chapel of Carnal Love (ePub)

Chapel of Carnal Love is a sexy fairy tale—a romantic Arthurian novel with epic sweep.This is not swords and sorcery. More like sex and sorcery, it's an intricate tangle of love, seduction, and magic, with all the glamour and shocking visceral truths of the original Celtic myths. People are always making love to one lover while sure they're with another. A good man cannot recognize his own sister under the guise of dance and desire.The threat to Arthur's Round Table blows in one night before dinner. His name is Mordred, a minstrel boy with long eyelashes and rock star cool. He dispatches Launcelot, Gawain, and finally King Arthur himself off into the woods, the abode of the shapeshifter Morgan la Fay. For the vulnerable Queen Guinivere Mordred has other plans, way beyond his own infinitely irresistible seductions. Searching wildly for her self, the Queen finds another crown. "This is a miracle of a book, an enormous feat of the imagination. The magic here enacted is true magic, wild and deadly. This novel recovers the old meaning of the word romance. I don't think I've ever read anything so courageous, so trusting of its vision, so willing to go wherever it is led. I have a feeling Sir Thomas Malory would be in love with Susan Starr Richards. If he only knew what he had set in motion..."—Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, author of Come and Go, Molly Snow.
