Dark forces are taking hold in the kingdom of Camelot: King Arthur struggles to keep his knights in line as they steadily divide themselves into factions; the great Merlin has vanished at the hands of his lover and pupil, Nimue; wizards all over the countryside battle for whatever measures of power they can find. At the center of the maelstrom stands Keira, an innocent girl who possesses the ability to foretell the fate of her world. When Keira is kidnapped from her village home, her mother, Alayna, flees to Camelot and finds Mordred, an enigmatic knight who will ultimately become Keira's greatest champion, Alayna's greatest love, and King Arthur's greatest enemy.
In the long tradition of Arthurian legend, Mordred has been characterized as a buffoon, a false knight, and a bloodthirsty traitor. The Book of Mordred reveals a mysterious man through the eyes of three women who love him.
As the peaceful King Arthur reigns, the five-year-old daughter of Lady Alayna, newly widowed of the village-wizard Toland, is abducted by knights who leave their barn burning and their only servant dead.

Book of Mordred
I'd rate this one a 7 out of 10.
It was simplistic and even though I know it's targeted for young adults, many teen readers could handle more complexity and more thorough character development....heck, I loved Mists of Avalon when I was 15.
That said, I've always found Mordred interesting and felt he
got a bum rap. It wasn't his fault how he was conceived or how he
was treated as a child....I mean we are talking serious unhealed trauma,
adolescent angst, and major Daddy and Mommy issues here!!
Anyway, I liked the idea of Nimue being wracked with ethical questions, and it was nice to read a book that allows Mordred a bit of happiness in the end.
I also have a copy of I am Mordred by Nancy Springer, which I've been meaning to get to. It will be interesting to see if Springer develops the characters better.
