    Conn Iggulden has called it 'a masterpiece,' while The Times hails it 'a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale.' In a world where the legions of Rome are but a memory and enemies lurk at the edges of Britain, Uther Pendragon faces death. A boy, a refugee from fire and betrayal, emerges as an outsider with only a hawk and haunting memories for company. Gifted and guided by Merlin and the Lady Nimue, he begins his journey to manhood. Along the way, he encounters Guinevere, a proud girl ostracized for her own gift, and Arthur, a warrior embodying the hopes of his people. Yet, in these tumultuous times, friendship and love seem fated to fail. The gods are fading, and treachery reigns, threatening the very fate of Britain. The young renegade who left Benoic with dreams of revenge transforms into a formidable lord of war, a man both loved and loathed. He is Lancelot, a figure of both reverence and scorn. Set in 5th century Britain besieged by Saxons, Franks, Irish, and Picts, this epic novel unfolds in Lancelot's voice, recounting the tale of the knight who fought alongside Arthur yet stole his wife—a story poised for re-imagination in contemporary times.

    "Britain is a land riven by anarchy, slaughter, famine, filth and darkness. Its armies are destroyed, its heroes dead, or missing. Arthur and Lancelot fell in the last great battle and Merlin has not been seen these past ten years. Now, the Saxons are gathering again, their warbands stalking the land, their king seeking dominion. For the lords and kings of Britain look only to their own survival and will not unite as they once did under Arthur and his legendary sword Excalibur. Meanwhile, in an isolated monastery in the Avalon marshes, a novice of the order is preparing to take his vows when the life he has known is ripped away in a welter of blood. Two strangers, the wild-spirited, Saxon-killing Iselle, and the ageing warrior Gawain, will pluck the young man from the wreckage of his simple existence. Together, they will seek the last druid and the cauldron of a god. And the young man must come to terms with his legacy and fate as the son of the most celebrated yet most infamous of Arthur's warriors: Lancelot."--Publisher
