Arthur

In a forgotten age shrouded by darkness, the emergence of Arthur Pendragon, Uther's purported lowborn son, ignites a flame of hope for the fractured land. His destiny, however, was prophesied by the bard Taliesin and meticulously guided by the mystical sage Merlin. Arthur's monumental task is to unite the disparate British kings under his banner, forging the fabled Summer Kingdom—a reign of peace and prosperity. This ambition plunges him into an era of relentless warfare, profound treachery, and countless battles, where Merlin's counsel is his most potent weapon. Though he prevails against formidable barbarian incursions and internal betrayals, the hard-won peace is fleeting. His greatest test looms as the malevolent sorceress Morgian devises a deadly trap, utilizing his cherished Queen Gwenhwyvar as bait, threatening to plunge the Summer Kingdom into eternal darkness. Lawhead's epic re-imagining delves deep into the sacrifices and trials behind the legendary king.
