This brilliant reconception of the Arthurian epic cuts through the
familiar myths and tells the story of the real King Arthur: Artos
the Bear, the mighty warrior-king who saved the last lights of
Western civilization when the barbarian darkness descended in the
fifth century. Artos here comes alive: bold and forceful in battle,
warm and generous in friendship, tough in politics, shrewd in the
strategy of war--and tender and tragically tormented in love. Out
of the interweaving of ancient legend, fresh research, soaring
imagination, and hypnotic narrative skill comes a novel that has
richly earned its reputation as a classic.
