The thrilling next instalment in Peter Gibbons', The Chronicles of Arthur series To save his people, a warrior must become more than a king…

Dark Age Britain crumbles. Cruel kings of Britain sit alone atop their hilltop fortresses as brutal Saxon invaders push ever forwards, greedy for plunder and weakened kingdoms to conquer.

Blood feuds, jealousy, and pride keeps these Kingdoms isolated. Only the Pendragon, Uther, the high king of kings, has the power to unite the armies of Britain against their common enemy. But Uther Pendragon refuses to march to war as the Saxon hordes under the bloodthirsty leadership of Lord Octha grow ever stronger, quashing all that stands in his way.

Arthur leads a solitary warband, searching wild and lawless badlands bringing the fight to the savage Saxon warlords. As war brews, Merlin stirs up legends of Arthur, Excalibur, and the old gods, kindling a spark of hope in men’s hearts to unite and fight back.

As Saxon armies mass for war and destruction, Arthur must embrace the legend. Can he bring the Pendragon to war, and march with the force of Britain to crush the Saxon invaders? It will take all of Merlin’s power, Arthur’s iron will, and the strength of Excalibur to win this epic battle for the future of Britain.

The continuation of the compelling, fast-paced series from bestselling writer Peter Gibbons. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell.
