Plot Summary of Believe
"When assistant history professor, Susan St. James is given a book called, "My Life and Times, The Story of Merlin Wizard Extraordinaire and Counselor to Kings" by the author of the biography himself, she is swept back in time to meet the handsome Sir. Galahad to join him in his search for the Holy Grail. This is when the chemistry starts, and the wonderful repartee begins. Though it seems a tired plot, this book is fresh, fun and full of magic and romance. Fans of time travel, magic, fantasy, and romance fiction alike will enjoy Victora Alexander's retelling of Sir Galahad's search for the Holy Grail.
