SynopsisWith The Winter King, the first volume of his magnificent Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell turns to the story he was born to write: the mythic saga of King Arthur. Now a major television show. 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., It takes a remarkable writer to make an old story as fresh and compelling as the first time we heard it.

Bernard Cornwell, he is the best!
As usual, his story telling is second to none with a mix of historical settings and "maybe" happenings. One of THE very best authors of our time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

read it first 20 years ago
I wanted to reread it because it is the first of a series. I can now read the entire series. After that, I will begin the 'saxons'. Or perhaps the sharpe series. I enjoy this form of historical fiction. B Cornwell is the best at putting the reader in a certain time and place.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
