" In this 3rd volume of the retold story of King Arthur, Bernard Cornwell presents a disillusioned and sceptic Arthur who retires in a small country, living the simple and retired life he always wanted to. But the Saxons' thread is a never ending story and Arthur needs to come back to defeat them. The descriptions of the battles are extraordinary vivid : Cornwell is no doubt a master ! "
