Description:
The Saxons, sensing the disunity of the Britons, seize the chance to destroy Arthur. The climax of the war comes with the legendary triumph at Mount Badon, and Arthur's great victory. But the promises he made then come back to haunt him after the years of peace and glory. This is a story of love, war, loyalty and betrayal.
Review:
The final part of Cornwell's epic Arthurian trilogy. The great days of Arthur's rule are over and the king watches over a disintegrating realm as he finds himself drawn inexorably towards a climactic battle at Camlann. Two men can influence Arthur's fate: the loyal Derfel, Excalibur's narrator, and Merlin, who must summon the strength to weave a final spell. (Kirkus UK)
