The story of Avalon High is told in the perspective of Ellie, the daughter of two university professors that study the middle ages. Ellie parents decide to go on sabbatical to write paper so they move Ellie to a whole new town where she doesn't know anyone or anything. There she meets William, Avalon High's senior class president and the schools' starting quarterback, she falls for him instantly however there is a small problem which is the fact that William has a girlfriend, Jennifer the captain of the cheerleaders team. The book proceeds to unravel secrets, mystery and even myth in a way never seen before. Past lives are rediscovered and destiny are set for the characters.

Ellie and William find that they have a bond that is unexplainable. William and Ellie start speeding a lot of time together. William invites her to his famous start of the year party, where Ellie discovers that Jennifer is cheating on William with his best friend Lance. Ellie hides the Jennifer and Lance's affair form William. But William’s new step brother is trying to enlighten his brother about his best friend and his girlfriend.

It turn out that Jennifer and Lance affair is much more than a high school romance, it marks the moment that KIng Arthur loses his ability to rule. William was King Arthur in a past life so Jennifer was the Queen and Lance the first knight. Ellie turns out to be the most important character in the King Arthur legend but everyone get confused thinks she is another character. The story unravels and the character live up to their destinies while finding out unbelievable family secrets.

This story is a mixture of historical non-fiction, fiction, romance and even a little science fiction. It not only a story to that keeps the mind entertained but it also teaches you a little bit about historic events and myths. This is in no way a chick flick its a story with imagination and creativity. I really like this book it was unique in ways different from all other books and it delivered the happy ending, I was hoping for.
