This is no repeat; this is what happens next. A man, once a legend who bound his soul to his sword as he lay dying, is now all but a boy nearing the end of his acolyte training. Stifled by life in the undersea city of Avalon, Arthur wants to fight side by side with the air-breathing Terrans, not spend his life as servant to the incorporeal sentient known as the Archive. Despite the restrictions put on him by Sanctuary, he is determined to help the surface-dwellers defeat predators whose sole purpose is to ensure their own survival, no matter the cost. Ashira, War Maid and princess of the surface-world, is ready to sacrifice her life to defend her kin, but when she is betrayed and cast out of the life chosen for her, she must choose whether to die with honor or become one of the creatures her kinsmen fear and loathe. Following two threads of time, C.N. Lesley’s new incarnation of the Arthurian tales of old delivers the perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy.

    Sir Givret the ShortPoor Givret: his size makes him so easy to overlook. But there’s more to knighthood than height, and before long, Givret’s quick thinking lands him a place at the famous Round Table!   Sir Gawain the TrueThe knights didn’t always act quite as gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthur’s nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage.  Sir Balin the Ill-FatedWhile most of King Arthur’s knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure!

    As the army collapses and the towns fall one by one to the Saxon invaders, competing tyrants and petty warlords turn upon each other. The north of the island remains aloof from the south, hiding behind its walls and forts while in the south, jealousy and intrigue paralyse the remaining town councillors. The last Roman defenders vanish into the Wood of Annwn fighting to the last. All seems doomed. It is a dark time but in that darkness a final light gleams. Deep within a strange storm a figure is found with no past and a heavy burden upon his heart. Alone he spins about him a fateful destiny to unite the warring Britons and bring the Saxons finally to heel in one last battle under the crumbling ramparts of Mount Badonicus. This is the story of Arthur, Dux Bellorum, known to the Britons as the Bear, and Donn, the god of death. A man caught on that cusp between the end of Rome and the dawning of a heroic age. A man in whose hands lies not just the fate of Britain but the end of Rome itself . . . Praise for the Author’s previous novels ‘The Nowhere Legion’ and 'The Janus Eagle': “ His characters are realistic and dark, the action is intense and unrelenting, and the story within a story will keep you turning the pages. ” S.Brabant “His writing has an elegance and lyrical quality about it, and more than once I caught myself thinking, "I wish I had written that." And I assure you, that is a rare feat.” R.W. Peake, Author of the ‘Marching With Caesar’ novels. “Hagan delivers battles as gritty as the Persian desert. This is simply the best description I have read of what it was to fight in the Roman army. From the strategic placement of units to the cut and thrust tactics of the legionary the detail and the drama is unleashed in crashing waves of action.” P.Gillingwater "The prose is just so vibrant and the way the author describes a city or a battle, the day to day goings of a Legion or even the machinations and schemes of those men (and women!) in power - it is all so detailed and compelling that you really do feel you are there not so much as reading but rather seeing events unfold with your own eyes, and then with the very thoughts, prejudices, hopes and feelings of someone from that time. It is a skill I know very few authors to posses, to not only make you care, but to care and think as if you were seeing this tale unfold as a contemporary and not just through the eager but ultimately detached eyes of a modern reader."
