Arthur

Giles Christian

Antonia Sr. said in The Times:

"Brilliant... original and terrifying... Fans of Bernard Cornwell's The Winter King trilogy will enjoy this and conclude that Christian has outdone the Master."

And readers love Arthur...
"The best story about King Arthur I have ever had the pleasure of reading." *****

"Brilliant writing, excellent characterization, and an immersive narrative." *****

"I loved this trilogy. It's the best retelling of the Arthurian legend I've read, and I'd like to add Cornwell's version to it." *****

"The ending is bloody and glorious, and very well written. A final roar of hooves, a final chirp of trumpets. I'm so disappointed it's over; I could have kept reading." *****

"Enough originality and pure writing talent to make it an indispensable literary work." *****

"This is a true story that doesn't let down the characters of the legend." *****

It's been years since the clash of shield walls echoed across the country...

The Saxons are now masters of Britain. Yet the bards still sing of Arthur—“In our darkest hour, when we need him most, will he return again?” The old mercenary Beran doesn’t like the songs of the bards. Nor do the people. Unless they pay him to steal or kill. Now he’s been ordered to kill a boy. But this is no ordinary child. The son of King Constantine and the grandson of the Great King Ambrosius, this boy could be Britain’s savior… if he lives. Betrayed by his comrades and returned to a world he thought had abandoned him, Beran vows to take the boy to the one place that still stands against invaders: Camelot. Hunted by the Saxons and Queen Morgana, whom he has deceived, he will seek the aid of Jaefret, nicknamed the Little King, and the Saracen, Palamedes, who once rode under Arthur’s banner. They will meet the doomed lovers, Tristan and Isolde. They will fight for their lives and for each other.

If there is any hope for Britain, Beran must deliver the boy to Camelot. And to do that, he must come to terms with his past...

Arthur is the captivating new novel from the bestselling author of Lancelot, hailed as a "masterpiece" by Con Iggulden.
