About the book
The bestselling action adventure series from Peter Gibbons! Must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell dark Age Britain. A legendary hero rises to unite a divided and threatened land...
A country left in ruins after the fall of the Roman Empire is now being plundered and broken. Saxon hordes have invaded and conquered the East coast of Britain in a brutal Great War that tore apart the old kingdoms. From Bernicia to Kent, the land and kingdoms are now under Saxon rule. But these new conquerors are not satisfied...
Britain's remaining kingdoms are weary of the constant threat of war, with aging Kings, fragile alliances, and tensions on the brink. It appears as though Britain is destined to be enslaved by the ruthless invaders from afar.
However, a new and formidable warlord has emerged, granted power by the druid Merlin through the legendary sword Excalibur. With no kingdom of his own, he embarks on a quest to unite the country and push back against the relentless Saxon warriors - he is known as the formidable Arthur.
The sword carries the essence of Britain within its steel, and men are willing to follow and fight for whoever wields it...
