The sword has the power of Britain in its steel, men will follow and fight for whoever wields Age Britain. A legendary hero rises to unite a divided and threatened A country left in ruins after the fall of the Roman Empire is plundered and broken. Saxon hordes have invaded and conquered the East coast of Britain in a blood-soaked Great War which tore the old kingdoms apart. From Bernicia to Kent, land and kingdoms are now under Saxon rule. But these new conquerors want more… Britain's show more remaining kingdoms are jaded by the constant threat of war, their Kings old, alliances fickle and frayed. It seems Britain must fall enslaved to the brutal and marauding conquerors from across the sea. But no one counted on a new and fearsome warlord. A warrior granted power by the druid Merlin through the mighty sword Excalibur. A man with no Kingdom but a quest to unite the country and fight back against the baying Saxon warriors?

Absolute quality a classic of the genre.
This is a superb book engaging from first to last page, with superb characterisation throughout, almost non stop action and sometimes gruesome violence, a terrific story and I look forward enormously to the next book in this series.
Completely and utterly recommended.
