    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.
