    <![CDATA[Arthur has crushed Lancelot's rebellion, but at a cost. Guinevere's betrayal has left him reeling, and his Saxon enemies seek to destroy him while he is weak. Chaos threatens to engulf Britain. Yet Arthur is a military genius and noble leader. As the battle draws close, he prepares to fight his way to victory at Mount Badon and also win back the woman he lost. But in this final journey of the warlord, the intrigues of Mordred, now the adult heir to the throne of Britain, and the magics of the priestess Nimue could prove to be Arthur's downfall.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Just finished this series (this is the last book in it). I had trouble getting into the series at the beginning: the prose is declarative (&quot;Derfel was angry&quot;; &quot;No! she said with remorse&quot;) rather than -- for lack of a better term -- illuminating. This bothered me. But in the end t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35609283">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bernard Cornwell is one of the best writers of historical fiction out there, and the Arthur trilogy is his best work.  He strips a good deal of the gloss off the Arthur legends, and what is left is a fascinating picture of the squalor, mystery, brutality, and courage of sixth-century Britain.

    <body><![CDATA[Cornwall is an awesome author of great skill who is at his best when it comes to writing about people. He develops his characters fully. This is my favorite Arthurian Series of all time. It reinvents the Arthurian tales and yet still manages to stay with the legendary framework.
