A Rise of the Cursed

The Sword of Avalon (The Rise of the Last, Book 1)

De: S.M. Clarke

Narrado por: Sasha Jones

Albion Bell has spent his life haunted by the fire that destroyed his childhood home and stole his father from him. Raised between foster homes and shadows, he believes the past is buried, until a violent rift tears open between worlds and drags him into a shattered Avalon, where myths bleed and history is a living weapon. In Avalon, Albion discovers he is the last scion of the Pendragon line, a bloodline long thought extinguished after centuries of betrayal, war, and sorrow.

Bound by ancient magic to the legendary Excalibur, Albion struggles against the crushing expectations of a broken world desperate for salvation. Torn between loyalty to friends and distrust of the powerful figures who claim to guide him, Albion must navigate a kingdom plagued by civil war, corrupted magic, and conspiracies older than the myths themselves. His reluctant allies include Winston, a stoic mentor scarred by his own losses; Adele, the enigmatic heir to a fractured Camelot; and Becca, a trusted companion hides dangerous secrets.

As Albion searches for his missing mother and discovers a sigil linked his family legacy—he is stalked by the manipulations of the Celeste Empire and the demonic forces unleashed by Avalon’s collapse. In a desperate confrontation, Albion after accepting his Pendragon birthright, faces the harrowing choice between becoming the hero Avalon demands or forging a new path that could doom both worlds. As the lines between past and present, love and betrayal blur, he must decide whether legacy is a chain to bear, or a sword to break. In a land where memory itself can be weaponized, Albion’s greatest battle will not be against the monsters without, but the ghosts within.
