A fine blending of multiple canon versions of the Arthurian Legend, and a great read, besides! I read my paperback copy to shreds and finally purchased a hardcover copy. I reviewed this work during my college days for my Arthurian Legend professor, and convinced her to make it part of the course curriculum. A+ all the way!
Catherine Christian blends a wonderful mix of Myth, Fact and Fiction to create a novel that is a wonderful read. Being a fan of both Arthurian Legend and Roman History, I could easily see in my minds eye the places & people living within the pages.
A must read for any fan of King Arthur and his Valiant companions.
