Sinossi
Anno del signore 480: il grande re di Britannia Uther Pendragon, il Drago Rosso, è vecchio e ormai prossimo alla morte, e il suo unico erede legittimo, il nipote Mordred, è soltanto un bambino di pochi mesi, nato storpio nel cuore dell’inverno.
Mentre l’isola è minacciata da una schiera di eserciti sassoni pronti all’invasione, ognuno dei re minori di quelle terre reclama la corona per sé. L’unico in grado di riunire il regno contro i sassoni è Artù, leggendario guerriero detentore della spada nella roccia, forgiata nell’Oltretomba dal dio Gofannon e donatagli da Merlino affinché riporti la pace e la giustizia.
Il raggiungimento di questo obiettivo però è insidiato da forze oscure che tramano nell’ombra, oltre che dall’amore tormentato di Artù per la bella Ginevra.
Il guerriero sa che dovrà lottare con tutte le sue forze e scongiurare la minaccia dei nemici che sembrano sul punto di infliggere alla Britannia il colpo di grazia…
Da un grande maestro dell’avventura, un’originale rilettura dell’epopea del più famoso cavaliere del mondo.

4.5/5 StarsDepending on the rest of the trilogy, this could be the most original and the best Arthurian legend retelling of all time, out of all medium. A little background before I start my review; this is my first dive into Bernard Cornwell’s work and only my second time reading a historical fictio Leggi tutto
I really can't say enough about this book. There are a lot of reasons to enjoy books and this one scores highest in so many categories. It is just very fun to read. Who would I recommend this book to? If you loved The Lord of the Rings but the smallest part of you that doesn't care about poetry kind Leggi tutto
Extremely enjoyable retelling of the legend of King Arthur. Full review coming soon...
Astonishingly gritty, dark, and immersive, this isn't the King Arthur I remember from my childhood – but it's so much better! I can't wait to dive into the second book! As someone who's usually immersed in the realms of high fantasy, I was a bit hesitant about diving into historical fiction. But as T Leggi tutto
Why is this written in such a dry, boring narrative style? Bernard Cornwell's books can be exciting and full of period detail that really engage the reader. This one is sadly not like that. There is a helpful list of characters and places (and map) at the front of the book, for those of us unfamilia Leggi tutto
I now have a YouTube channel that I run with my brother, called 'The Brothers Gwynne'. Check it out - The Brothers Gwynne *Sep 2025 - Beginning a reread of one of my all-time favourite series! So far, it is even better, as the foundation laid for twists to come are just brilliant!* “The bards sing Leggi tutto
Re-read: Still 5 stars on a second read. Jonathan Keeble is tremendous and Lancelot is the worst character in any book that isn't named Obidiah Hakeswill. The audiobook is fantastic.
Full review now posted!Original review can be found at Booknest. Here lies a book that didn’t enthrall me, but somehow fascinated me. I wasn’t filled with longing to pick it up and continue reading, but every time I did I was given incredibly interesting theories and historical information. This was Leggi tutto
Nobody does this quite as well as Bernard Cornwell. He is quite literally the master of this genre. He creates a vivid warrior culture time and time again, and I will never get bored of it. This is saying a lot because Bernard Cornwell has written a huge amount of novels over the years and a few are Leggi tutto
