Can one-man unite Britain and secure its future? ?
Dark Age Britain
Britain slides into darkness. A splintered land ruled by brutal Kings in their hilltop fortresses and besieged by Saxon invaders.
Wielding Excalibur, Arthur Pendragon, king of kings is all that stands between Britain and Saxon conquest.
His call to arms to unite against the Saxon invasion as one army is rebuked. Ancient rivalries, jealousy, and bitterness prevent Arthur from uniting his countrymen in defiance of the savage Saxon warlords who have seized Britain's east and south coast.
Arthur must face and defeat enemies within his own kingdom, and then unite the kingdoms of Britain in a war that will shake the country's very foundations.
Can Arthur succeed with vicious enemies all around him? Merlin, Lancelot, Bors, Gawain and Kai join their swords to Arthur's iron will as they do battle for Britain's very existence.
The continuation of the compelling, fast-paced series from bestselling writer Peter Gibbons. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell.
