Deryn of Calleva flees her ruined home, betrayed by her own kin and pursued by Saxons. With nothing left but her wits and her will to survive, she seeks shelter in Arthur’s court—a place where loyalties shift like the wind and every ally may yet prove false.
Cadfael of Dunoding, eldest son of his house and sworn to Arthur’s service, is being shaped into the next war duke. Fiercely loyal to his king, he struggles to hold fast to honor while Britain fractures around him. Yet the wary, sharp-eyed woman from his past awakens a bond he cannot deny.
Together, Deryn and Cadfael must navigate treachery within Camelot and the relentless threat beyond its walls. When Arthur’s fighting men are called to their greatest trial, their choices will decide not only their hearts, but the fate of a kingdom.
In this eleventh installment of the Once and Future Hearts fantasy romance series, The Grail and Glory tells a sweeping tale of betrayal, resilience, and love in the twilight of King Arthur’s realm.

Readers have described Tracy Cooper-Posey as “a superb story teller” and her historical fantasy romances as “written art.”
A Historical Fantasy Romance/Ancient Historical Romance series
Tracy Cooper-Posey is a 2024 Aurealis Award finalist for best SF Novella and the author of over 200 published titles that blend romance, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and historical intrigue. She writes across multiple pen names—including Cameron Cooper (space opera) and Taylen Carver (fantasy, also an Aurealis finalist)—and has collected a long list of accolades, including the Emma Darcy Award, the SFR Galaxy Award, and fourth place in Hugh Howey’s SPSFC#2.
An indie juggernaut and genre chameleon, Tracy has been publishing since 1999 and running her own one-woman fiction empire since 2011. Her stories range from sweeping sagas to bite-sized thrillers, and she’s as comfortable writing tangled political intrigue as she is crafting a killer space opera saga. She’s a strategist at heart—an INTJ with a sword-sharp mind and a whiteboard full of fictional worlds. A former magazine editor and romance writing instructor, she now writes full-time in Edmonton, Canada, where she lives with her husband and creative partner, Mark Posey.
She runs on Irish Breakfast tea, dark chocolate, and a fierce love of genre fiction—from Frank Herbert and Mary Stewart to Murderbot, MacLean, and McCaffery.
The treadmill continues to go unnoticed.
