"Blends action and history. Pilling captures the savagery of the period... For fans of Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden." Richard Foreman, author of Sword of Empire.

497 AD

"All the world's wonder, no grave for Arthur... "
Britannia has been at peace for six years. With his enemies defeated, Artorius reigns as High King over a golden era of prosperity.

Yet his end is near. A new generation of young warriors has reached manhood, who care little for the victories won by their fathers. To them Artorius an ageing symbol of a bygone era.

These restless young men find a leader in Medraut, the High King's youngest son. Since his return from the East, Medraut has bided his time at Caerleon. Now he steps out of the shadows to take advantage of the growing resentment and unrest against his father.

When the Yellow Plague hits Britannia, a lethal sickness that sweeps across the land and spares neither young nor old. Medraut seizes the chance to make his bid for the throne. All the while, the ever-present threat of the Saxons under their formidable leader, Cerdic, looms in the background.

Artorius is a lonely figure, surrounded by enemies. Yet he will ride out to battle one last time...
