About This Book
A retelling of Arthurian legends that follows a young king raised by a noble knight who draws the great sword, unites the realm, and establishes a court and the Round Table. The book presents episodic tales of chivalry and adventure—tournaments, quests, and tests of honor—tracing the deeds of notable knights including Lancelot, Gareth, Geraint, and others. Key episodes cover the acquisition of Excalibur, the arrival of Guinevere, battles with giants and foreign foes, and the search for the Holy Grail, while themes of loyalty, love, betrayal, and the costs of heroism build to the final conflict and the king’s tragic end.
