The legends of King Arthur were born in the darkest of ages. After three hundred years of rule, Rome had recalled their legionaries, and ruthless barbarians scoured Britainnia. Three oath-bound young men join forces with a rag tag group of refugees led by an Irish deaconess as they strove to preserve their culture against annihilation. This is the riveting first book of an action-packed historical fiction series set in the Dark Ages, the times when the King Arthur actually lived, a tale of how the Arthurian legends were born.
