Publisher's summary

At just 18 years old, Arthur is on the verge of being crushed under the weight of his great destiny. The mighty castle at Tintagel has fallen. King Uther Pendragon lies dead. The mad King Vortigern sits upon the throne with a dragon at his command. And Merlin, having turned traitor, stands at the new king's side. Now Arthur, with the help of the mysterious sword in the stone and his loyal mentors, Gawain and Percival, embarks on a daring mission to retake the crown. However, his greatest challenges lie not in overcoming his enemies, but in finding a way to reunite with two lost friends: a wounded knight called Lancelot and an assassin named Guinevere.

Experience the classic tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table like never before with this thrilling reimagining of ancient legend.

Totally engaging and enjoyable

Amazing how someone can take a story that you grew up with, a story you know so well, and tell it to you again in such a captivating way that you eagerly return to recording, waiting to discover what happens next. The writer is an impeccably skilled storyteller. As a performer, he takes a couple chapters to get into the groove and then takes flight. Voices, inflection and varying speed all make this a most riveting listen. I can't recommend it enough.
