Joan is the reason the Sorceress clan wants to attack. She's prophesied to pull Excalibur from its stone. But her clan wants its powers for a darker purpose.

Ratings and reviews

This is my first book by Julia. Enjoyed the prequel to the series. It was a different take on Excalibur. Usually you think of the knights of the round table and King Arthur, and not sorceress warring over the sword. This was a fast paced short story, and interested in reading more of this world.

This was my first Julia Goldhirsh's book. This short novella is a prequel of the Gemstone Massacre series, a Dark Arthurian Fantasy. The storyline is original, fun, fast-paced, action packed, and entertaining, filled with magic, and sorceress. The characters are great, and well developed. The world building is well done, and intriguing. This is a great introduction to the series. Alexandra Hunter did a great job with the narration. I love her voice! I enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to listen to the first book in the series.

I got to listen to the audio and enjoyed listening to this prequel and look forward to seeing more of this series.
