Lancelot has loved Arthur for nearly a thousand years but has never had the courage to act on it--'til now.
After being away at college for a year, Lance returns to Avalon, Kentucky for the summer. He hasn't seen any of his friends in months, but all that changes when Arthur--the one person he can't have, but desperately needs--offers him a ride home from work.
The last time Lance saw Arthur, the two had not parted on the best of terms--with Arthur's father finding them asleep on his bed, and physically wrenching Lance away from Arthur. The incident put a strain on their friendship, and convinced Lance that they will never be together.
For the past five years Lance has fought his attraction to Arthur, because as a budding brujo, he believes in magick, destiny, and fate--that everything happens for a reason--that nothing good will come of an Arthur Pendragon-Lance A. Lotte pairing.
Then one evening Arthur sends Lance a text, telling him that he's in love with him, forcing Lance to question everything...

College students who may be the reincarnated legends of King Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, are facing down the dangers of both their pasts and present in modern day Avalon, Kentucky.
The premise of this book is intriguing. And the main character, Lance, is by far my favorite in the story. He is a self described brown, trans-man in a mostly white southern small town. Add to that a history of being a foster child and Lance has plenty to face without the strange magicks of a past as Lancelot added to his plate.
This story has moments where it is truly engaging. There are also moments where the narrative gets awkward and bogged down in detail. The relationship between Lance and Arthur is sweet but frustrating. I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The adventure portions of the book were very well written, but the dialogue seemed to not quite gel at times.
I think fans of Arthurian legends will enjoy the fresh take on this new story.
