 The Guinevere Deception
comment
The Guinevere Deception is a young adult novel written by Kiersten White, a retelling of Arthurian Legend with Guinevere as the main character.Guinevere arrives in Camelot with heavy trepidation in her heart: she has been sent to marry King Arthur, a man she has never met. All she knows of him are what the legends say, that he is a great man, that he's the one who pulled the legendary sword from the stone. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Guinevere hasn't actually been sent from a royal family in the South to marry Arthur as the rumors claim, and Guinevere isn't her real name either: she's actually been sent to Camelot by Merlin to protect him.It is the first in a trilogy, the Camelot Rising trilogy.

Camp Straight: The only person Mordred is shown to be interested in is Guinevere, but he is often criticised by other characters for being effeminate.

Amnesiac Hero: Merlin wiped most of Guinevere's memories before she left to Camelot. She is constantly shocked by childhood things like losing baby teeth, and things she would have already gotten like her period. She only has vague memories of learning magic, but can use it fine.

comment
Supernatural Repellent: Both iron and some of Guinevere's knot spells repell fey. Her knot spells are used to keep other magic out of the Camelot castle. Other characters reference this to her multiple times. Brangien mentions her knots untying whenever she walked into the castle. Mordred mentions pain walking through the doors, and how using a sword or wearing armour hurts him.

Fantastic Racism: Magic is not allowed in Camelot, so magic users are persecuted or must hide their identities. One girl, after being sentenced to exile (a softer sentence than normal), is chased down by villagers and attacked for using magic.

Bodyguard Crush: Guinevere may love Arthur, but her feelings are far from uncomplicated. Among the complications is Lancelot, the Statuesque Stunner Lady Knight who is sworn to her protection, and who becomes her closest friend, confidant, and... some undefined other feelings.

To Be Lawful or Good
 The Guinevere Deception / int_a922f8de
comment
To Be Lawful or Good: Guinevere, Arthur, and Mordred face the dilemma about the law against magic. Because of the Grey-and-Gray Morality at work, the choice to be lawful is not entirely evil, and standing against it is not entirely good. It depends on the character's personal values and what they are willing to sacrifice for peace.

Both Sides Have a Point
 The Guinevere Deception / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Arthur genuinely wants the best for his people and Camelot. He believes making magic illegal is a necessary sacrifice, as it keeps dangers out (like the Dark Queen... and even Merlin himself is FAR from blameless). Mordred, though he cares for Arthur as a person, is strongly against this. The law unintentionally backs up Camelot's citizens in their prejudice against magic users. When he can, he gives magic users less harsh sentences. This does not end well (see Fantastic Racism). It means people cannot be themselves. As a half-fey, he suffers under that rule.

Merger of Souls: It is eventually revealed that Guinevere is the result of Merlin fusing the original Guinevere's soul with the Lady of the Lake so that he could send the Lady of the Lake to protect Arthur, accidentally creating a new personality from the fusion.
