Conn Iggulden has called it 'a masterpiece' while The Times has
hailed it 'a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale' . . .
The legions of Rome are a fading memory. Enemies stalk the fringes
of Britain. And Uther Pendragon is dying. Into this fractured and
uncertain world the boy is cast, a refugee from fire, murder and
betrayal. An outsider whose only companions are a hateful hawk and
memories of the lost. Yet he is gifted, and under the watchful eyes
of Merlin and the Lady Nimue he will hone his talents and begin his
journey to manhood. He will meet Guinevere, a wild, proud and
beautiful girl, herself outcast because of her gift. And he will be
dazzled by Arthur, a warrior who carries the hopes of a people like
fire in the dark. But these are times of struggle and blood, when
even friendship and love seem doomed to fail. The gods are
vanishing beyond the reach of dreams. Treachery and jealousy rule
men's hearts and the fate of Britain itself rests on a sword's
edge. But the young renegade who left his home in Benoic with just
a hunting bird and dreams of revenge is now a lord of war. He is a
man loved and hated, admired and feared. A man forsaken but not
forgotten. He is Lancelot. Set in a 5th century Britain besieged by
invading bands of Saxons and Franks, Irish and Picts, Giles
Kristian's epic new novel tells - in Lancelot's own words - the
story of the most revered yet reviled of all Arthur's knights, the
warrior who fought at his lord's side - yet stole his wife. This is
the story of the of one of the great figures of British myth and
legend - a story ready to be re-imagined for our times.
