And They Shall Be Nameless: the Quickening Rebecca Cross

Publisher Marketing: The Golden Age of Camelot was over, and the magic was gone. King Arthur was dead, the Round Table was disbanded, and necromancers like the mighty Merlin were thought to be mad lunatics. The Council of Twelve, revered dragons who were the very cornerstone of magic and had the ability to turn human, had disappeared. By a sheer token of power and luck, Merlin is given a chance to set things right - a chance to thwart the evil that had invaded the kingdom of Camelot. Research reveals that he needs two women that are descended from the Council bloodline. In order to set all to rights, Merlin seeks his deliverers out - and finds them not in the present or past, but in the future. Free-spirited Jasin Tamariz and reserved Tatiana Richfield are former college roommates and best friends. With the help of Viviane, the Lady of the Lake, they learn the ways of the Knights of the Round Table, and, thanks to their special heritage, they discover the subtleties of Avalonian magic. They take the long road to Camelot, and by the time they arrive at King Arthur's court, word has spread of their mystery - for no one has ever seen their faces, and no one knows their names. What's more important, no one is aware they are women. But eventually they must reveal themselves, and it shakes the very foundation of Camelot, in more ways than one."
