Bridging the gap between 'Game of Thrones' and Bernard Cornwell comes the third and final chapter in James Wilde's epic adventure of betrayal, battle and bloodshed . . .
AD 375 - The Dark Age is drawing nearer.
As Rome's legions abandon their forts and chaos grows on the fringes of Britannia, the shattered force of the House of Pendragon huddles in the far west - it must protect the Royal heir who seems to be the only beacon of hope.
What is more their great leader, Lucanus the Wolf, is missing presumed dead - and the people are abandoning them. And in this time of crisis, a challenger has arisen, a False King, with an army swollen by a horde of bloody-thirsty barbarians desperate for vengeance.
One slim hope remains for Lucanus' band of warrior-allies, the Grim Wolves. Under the guidance of the druid, Myrrdin, they must go in search of a great treasure - a vessel that is supposedly a gift from the gods. With that in their possession, then surely the people will return and rally to their cause. And if they fail, then all is lost. But if they succeed? Well, they will face a war to end all wars, a battle between two kings for a legacy that will echo down the years.
James Wilde's remarkable reimagining of how the myth of King Arthur, Excalibur and Camelot rose out of the pages of history reaches its shattering conclusion . . .
