    About this ebook

    In a forgotten age of darkness, a magnificent king arose to light the land

    They called him unfit to rule, a lowborn, callow boy, Uther’s bastard. But his coming had been foretold in the songs of the bard Taliesin. And he had learned powerful secrets at the knee of the mystical sage Merlin.

    He was ARTHUR—Pendragon of the Island of the Mighty—who would rise to legendary greatness in a Britain torn by violence, greed, and war; who would usher in a glorious reign of peace and prosperity; and who would fall in a desperate attempt to save the one he loved more than life.

    • 3/5
      Interesting adaptation of Arthurian legend. Guenever makes an appearance as a fierce pagan Irish warrior.
    • 4/5
      I like the character of Arthur far less than that of Merlin. Still it is a great book.
    • 2/5
      Starts well, ends not-so-well, unfortunately. Lawhead really has a hard time getting his endings to pack a punch; I'm not sure why.
    • 4/5
      Lawhead's continues his Pendragon series with Arthur. Like the first two books, I also enjoyed reading this book. In this story, we see Arthur become the foretold high king ruler of the Isle of the Mighty. We are taken through the arduous process Arthur must undertake to create the Kingdom of Summer. Arthur and Myrddin must combat treasonous kings as well as multiple invasions of Britain by barbarians. The battle sequences are epic and very well told. I'm glad Lawhead chose to use the first person account of the story once again, this time from a perspective of three characters. I gave this book four stars because of two reasons. The ending was a bit odd and appeared abrupt as if injected to meet a deadline. Also, like the other books, there's a good deal of Christianity wrapped into the story, as there may have been in 4th and 5th century Britain. However, I found it less intertwined and more preachy in this book.
    • 5/5
       I LOVE this series!
    • 3/5
      third in the "Pendragon Cycle" by Lawhead, this book focuses on the boy Arthur and his eventual assumption of the role of the king of the Britons. enjoyable and interesting take on the Arthurian legend. laced with not-obtrusive (though perhaps unlikely) dose of Christian dogma. worth reading in concert with the other books in the cycle.
    • 2/5
      Just couldn't make it through this one, which is almost a shame after enjoying the first two of the series so much, But somehow the characters just weren't as compelling in this one, or I couldn't work up any sympathy for the king after having a decent idea where the whole story would be going. Ah, well.
    • 5/5
      This is probably my favorite book about Arthur. It makes Arthur seem more human than legend.
