From the No. 1 bestselling author of WAR LORD comes an epic retelling of the Arthurian legend, which is now a major television series on ITV. The all-star cast will include Iain De Caestecker, Stuart Campbell, Ellie James and Eddie Marsan. In the Dark Ages, a legendary warrior arises to unite a divided land . . . Uther, the High King of Britain, is dead. His only heir is the infant Mordred. Yet each of the country's lesser kings seek to claim the crown for themselves. While they squabble and spoil for war, a host of Saxon armies gather, preparing for invasion. But no one has counted on the fearsome warlord Arthur.

I was very excited to read this, I enjoy the myth of King Arthur and was prepared to see a different telling of the story. Blah..... 30 pages into this book, and I find it very hard to follow with Cornwell's writing style. It jumps around characters, and I find it very hard to get into. Oh well. I've gotten to the point in my reading, if I haven't stated to get hooked in the first few pages, it's just not for me. Bummer, I really wanted to like this.

Arthur Triology
Satisfying and consistent quality story throughout the trilogy. I was sad to see it end. Did not want to take up another like it till I digested all of it.
