________________

Conn Iggulden called it ”a masterpiece” while The Times hailed it ”a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale” . . .

In Britain, Rome”s legions are but a distant memory.

And Uther Pendragon is dying.

Enemies stalk the land.

Into this uncertain world a boy is cast – an outsider, plagued by memories of those he”s lost.

Under the watchful eye of Merlin, the boy begins his journey to manhood. He meets another outcast, Guinevere – wild, proud and beautiful. And he is dazzled by Arthur – a warrior who carries the hopes of the people like a flaming torch in the dark.

But these are treacherous times, and the fate of Britain rests on a sword”s edge. This young man becomes a lord of war: loved, hated, admired and feared. He is a man forsaken but not forgotten.

He is Lancelot.

Set in a 5th century Britain besieged by invading bands of Saxons and Franks, Irish and Picts, Giles Kristian”s epic novel tells – in Lancelot”s own words – the story of the most revered yet reviled of all Arthur”s knights, the warrior who fought at his lord”s side – yet stole his wife. It”s is the story of one of the great figures of British myth and legend – a story ready to be re-imagined for our times.
