Описание книги

Who was King Arthur? That question has delighted, inspired, and confounded people for centuries. Was he a mighty warrior who united the kingdoms of Britain to fight off the Saxons and their allies after the Roman Legions withdrew? Was he the champion of chivalry who was involved in a love triangle that ended up destroying all that he had built? Was he a larger-than-life warrior surrounded by magical weapons and beings? Or was he just a man trying to defend his homeland from invaders? Award-winning author William Speir peels back the layers of myths and legends to tell a story that is rooted in history. Arthur, King is a novel about the man who led a kingdom besieged by enemies and filled with ambitious warlords plotting to become the next High King of Britain.

Отрывок из книги

William Speir

I also want to thank my sister and editor, Linda Speir, for her tireless work in helping me shape my draft manuscripts into a polished, finished version worthy of reading.

Uther looked at the other kings. He took a swig of ale and put down the tankard. “Ever since the Night of the Long Knives nine years ago, we’ve known that the Saxons can never be trusted. We’re fortunate that none of us was present that night, or we’d be dead, too. The presence of the Saxons and their allies in Britain is a threat to all of us. We made Vortigern the head of our armies and responsible for the defense of Britain. For a while, he led our armies well… until he invited Hengist and Horsa to come as mercenaries to help him defend Britain against the Irish, Picts, and Caledonians. Now, every year we lose territory, and the Saxons and their allies gain. Hengist has even expanded north to within sight of the former Roman capital of Camulodunum! If this continues, we’ll be overrun, and the Saxons will be our masters. Whatever it takes to prevent that is the only rational choice for us.”

“So you support deposing Vortigern and replacing him with Ambrosius?” Gwrast accused.
