Resumen del Editor
Before queenship and Camelot, Guinevere was a priestess of Avalon. She loved another before Arthur, a warrior who would one day betray her.
In the war-torn world of late fifth century Britain, young Guinevere faces a choice: stay with her family to defend her home at Northgallis from the Irish, or go to Avalon to seek help for the horrific visions that haunt her. The Sight calls her to Avalon, where she meets Morgan, a woman of questionable parentage who is destined to become her rival. As Guinevere matures to womanhood, she gains the powers of a priestess, and falls in love with a man who will be both her deepest love and her greatest mistake.
Just when Guinevere is able to envision a future in Avalon, tragedy forces her back home, into a world she barely recognizes, one in which her pagan faith, outspokenness, and proficiency in the magical and military arts are liabilities. When a chance reunion with her lover leads to disaster, she is cast out of Northgallis and into an uncertain future. As a new High King comes to power, Guinevere must navigate a world of political intrigue where unmarried women are valuable commodities and seemingly innocent actions can have life-altering consequences.
You may think you know the story of Guinevere, but you've never heard it like this: in her own words. Listen and you will hear the true story of Camelot and its queen.

Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn.

Historia
Celtic Britain is on the brink of collapse, and the kingdom's bloodiest days are upon it. For many years, the people of Briton have enjoyed peace and prosperity under the reign of King Arthur. He has ruled with dignity, honor, and humility. Arthur is now weakening with age, however, and the seeds of discontent are being sown. Seeking to cleanse the land of Christian belief, dissenters need a symbol with which to legitimize their pagan claim and gather malcontents together into a cohesive weapon.

I LOVE NICOLE EVELINA'S TALE OF GUINEVERE!
I found myself on a journey back in medieval times. I love Nicole Evelina's tale of Guinevere. I know that anyone who enjoys the tales of King Arthur will wish they were all told as well as this tale of Guinevere. I feel like I was truly there through out her life experiencing every moment with her. Thank you Nicole Evelina! Serena Scott Thomas is amazing and was perfect for the voice to all the characters in this book. "I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher."

You don't always get what you want.
It never occurred to me that Guinevere wasn't just sitting around waiting for Arthur. That like so many of us, she has hopes and dreams for her future and life steps in and changes everything. l really enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Excellent Read!
Where does Daughter of Destiny rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've received this copy for an honest review and I have to say even though I am not so into Historical Romances, Guinevere's Tale is one of the best of its kind I've read so far. The first book of continuing series, the story from Guinevere's side, a talented priestess of Avalon whose future is dictated by her status in society. I really enjoyed this book very much, it is very well written, Nicole Evelina did her homework before writing this book and it is an excellent job (mostly because historical fiction is fiction and not accurate in many events).
Thanks a lot Nicole Evelina and of course Serena Scott Thomas for this book!

Love the Subject
I have always been interested in British history. It is rich with what could be fact or fantasy, but either way, always fascinating. The story of Guinevere, Authur, Knights of the Round Table, Merlin-all of it-takes us back to a time in history where even speculation is remarkable given that it was so long ago. People are still telling the story. Even with the most meticulous research, the truth will never really be known. I think that is the reason it can still be told and augmented with the author's imagination.
Daughter of Destiny: Book 1 is the story of Guinevere's early life, from 11 years old to about 16, when she is betrothed to Authur. From what I have read previously on this subject, there are variations from what may or may not be the truth. Who really knows?
It was well written and Serena Scott Thomas does a fine job with the narration. This book was gifted to me for an honest review via Audiobook Boom! The next book in the series was also offered and I wish I had asked for that one too, as I really enjoyed this one!

A great take on Guineveres
“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”
It was certainly a different take on the whole Camelot story.. I like this better.
The narration was great, and you could truly feel for these characters.

Stay or Go..
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed this tale very much.
Guinevere is the strong daughter of a Roman king and a mother who was part of the Votadini tribe.
Her maternal family are believers in the old religion of Avalon, and so Guinevere is sent there to study, where she meets Viviane and Morgan.
There is a plot twist that makes this book an overall worthwhile read.
Serena Scott Thomas did well with the narration.

A Wonderful Look at Guinevere
I received this book in exchange for my review and I could not have been happier with it. I loved this look at Guinevere from both a more humanistic and more female centric view point. Guinevere is written about in a less than favorable light in almost every historical text and it was past time someone wrote about her with compassion. Like a great movie, I will listen to this again and again. The narration is soothing. The story is wonderful. Such an enjoyable listen.

Guinevere as you have never seen her
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I love this take on Guinevere, in most stories about Merlin and Arthur she is seen as little more than a wife and then a betrayer. This book covers Guinevere's early life including her training at Avalon and it shows her in a new light, here we see her as a complete person with strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes etc.
What about Serena Scott Thomas’s performance did you like?
I loved the character voices, the male voices were very well done which is always a challenge for a female narrator. Serena's narration allowed me to get lost in the story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, many times, both the story and the narration managed to draw me in and make me feel attached to the characters so I felt their joys and sorrows, loves and despair.
Any additional comments?
If you like the story of Guinevere, Arthur and Merlin then I doubt you'd be disappointed by this telling of the story.
I loved this book (in case the 5 star review didn't make that clear), I'm already looking forward to the next book and I'm hoping there are several more to come.

Mediocre
I really wanted to like it, as I love reimagining the Arthurian legends. Unfortunately I found this writer to be bland and so obviously American. The lack of research and character development was frustrating.
