The bestselling author of WAR LORD presents a captivating reimagining of the Arthurian legend, set in the world of the acclaimed Last Kingdom series. This epic tale transports readers to the tumultuous Dark Ages, where a legendary hero emerges to unify a fractured realm.
In the wake of High King Uther's death, Britain teeters on the brink of chaos. With only the infant Mordred as heir, ambitious lesser kings vie for the crown, their squabbles threatening to tear the land asunder. Meanwhile, Saxon armies mass at the borders, poised to exploit the kingdom's vulnerability.
Enter the formidable warlord Arthur, an unexpected contender for power. Guided by Merlin's counsel and entangled in a star-crossed love affair with the enchanting Guinevere, Arthur faces the monumental task of uniting the warring factions and repelling the Saxon threat.
This gripping saga weaves together myth, history, and heart-pounding battle scenes. Fans of Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, Conn Iggulden's works, and Merlin will be enthralled by this masterful blend of legend and realism.
Bernard Cornwell himself declares, 'Of all the books I have written these are my favourites', while The Times lauds the novel's 'Spellbinding realism'.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
