Review

Praise for the Albion series: 'One of the best [Arthurian novels] . . . hugely entertaining and enthralling.' Western Morning News

Skilfully mixes history and legend, and although there are many books about Arthur, none covers the period after his death. (Tangled Web)

Excellent characters . . . A marvellous book of original Arthurian legend. (Black Tears)

This book brings alive the world the great king would have known. The people who knew Arthur, who lived and fought with him - Vortipor, the scheming Lord of Dyfed, Lleminawg the Dancer, the great Irish warrior, later known as Lancelot, and Nai and Gorthyn, foster sons of the great Gereint, one of Arthur's most valiant warriors. And of course the real Camelot, the great fortress of Caer Cadwy. (Mike Ashley, editor of The Mammoth Book of King Arthur)
