FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WAR LORD COMES AN EPIC RETELLING OF THE ARTHURIAN LEGEND
'THE BEST King Arthur adaptation I've ever read' 5***** Reader Review
'An absolute winner from the master of historical fiction' 5***** Reader Review
'Outstanding. The best take on the iconic Arthur story I've read or watched' 5***** Reader Review
In the Dark Ages, a legendary warrior arises to unite a divided land . . .
_________
Uther, the High King of Britain, is dead.
His only heir is the infant Mordred. Yet each of the country's lesser kings seek to claim the crown for themselves.
While they squabble and spoil for war, a host of Saxon armies gather, preparing for invasion.
But no one has counted on the fearsome warlord Arthur.
Handed power by Merlin and pursuing a doomed romance with the beautiful Guinevere, Arthur knows he will struggle to unite the country - let alone hold back the Saxon enemy at the gates.
Yet destiny awaits him . . .
From the epic and bestselling author who has gripped millions.
