________________ Rome is burning.
In Britain, Uther Pendragon is dying.
Enemies stalk his land.
Into this uncertain world a boy is cast - an outsider, plagued by memories of those he's lost.
Under the watchful eye of Merlin, the boy begins his journey to manhood.
He meets another outcast, Guinevere - wild, proud and beautiful.
And he is dazzled by Arthur - a warrior who carries the hopes of the people like a flaming torch in the dark.
But these are treacherous times, and the fate of Britain rests on a sword's edge.
This young man becomes a lord of war: loved, hated, admired and feared.
He is a man forsaken but not forgotten.
He is Lancelot.
________________ Set in a 5th century Britain besieged by invading bands of Saxons and Franks, Irish and Picts, Giles Kristian's epic new novel tells - in Lancelot's own words - the story of the most revered yet reviled of all Arthur's knights, the warrior who fought at his lord's side - yet stole his wife.
This is the story of one of the great figures of British myth and legend - a story ready to be re-imagined for our times.
