Description
In a Britain ravaged by betrayal, war, and supernatural forces, a young heir is driven into the mountains after his father’s murder, where he is trained to become the leader his fractured kingdom desperately needs. As ancient powers awaken and the fabled sword of kingship is lost beyond the Circle of Mist, his destiny becomes entangled with immortal beings, vengeful spirits, and enemies determined to keep him from the throne. Blending Arthurian legend with alternate history and epic fantasy, the novel explores the burdens of leadership, the price of immortality, and the possibility of compassion amid brutality. Rich in battlefield drama, mythic scope, and deeply human characters, it bears the signature intensity and moral complexity of a classic heroic fantasy.
