The Winter King (The Arthur Books #1)
Description
It takes a remarkable writer to make an old story as fresh and compelling as
the first time we heard it. With The Winter King, the first volume of his
magnificent Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell finally turns to the story he
was born to write: the mythic saga of King Arthur. The tale begins in Dark Age
Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared,
where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with
magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur
returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor,
loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than
he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant. As Arthur fights
to keep a flicker of civilization alive in a barbaric world, Bernard Cornwell
makes a familiar tale into a legend all over again. Read more
