All fourteen-year-old gamer girl Sophie Sawyer wants to do
is defeat Morgan Le Fay in her favorite Arthurian videogame. She has no idea
the secret code sent via text message is actually a magical spell that will
send her back in time to meet up with a real life King Arthur instead.
Of
course Arthur’s not king yet–he hasn’t pulled the sword from the stone–and he
has no idea of his illustrious destiny. And when a twist of fate sends him
forward in time–to modern day high school–history is suddenly in jeopardy. Even
more so when Arthur Googles himself and realizes what lies in store for him if
he returns to his own time–and decides he’d rather try out for the football
team instead.
Now Sophie and her best friend Stuart find themselves in a race
against time–forced to use their 21st century wits to keep history on track,
battle a real-life version of their favorite videogame villain, and get the
once and future king back where he belongs. Or the world, as they know it, may
no longer exist.
Mari Mancusi always wanted a dragon as a pet.
Unfortunately the fire insurance premiums proved a bit too large and her house
a bit too small–so she chose to write about them instead. Today she works as an
award-winning young adult author and freelance television producer, for which
she has won two Emmys.
When not writing about fanciful creatures of myth and
legend, Mari enjoys goth clubbing, cosplay, snowboarding, watching cheesy (and
scary) horror movies, and her favorite guilty pleasure—playing videogames. A
graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas with her husband
Jacob, daughter Avalon, and their dog Mesquite.
