The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell is an enthralling masterpiece that will transport you to the heart of the Dark Ages. Renowned for his exceptional storytelling in War Lord and the acclaimed Last Kingdom series, Cornwell weaves a captivating reimagining of the legendary Arthurian saga.
In this gripping tale, Britain teeters on the edge of chaos following the death of High King Uther. With only the infant Mordred as the rightful heir, ambitious lesser kings engage in ruthless power struggles, threatening the kingdom’s very fabric as Saxon armies loom ominously at the borders.
Amidst this turmoil, the formidable warlord Arthur emerges as an unexpected contender for the throne. Guided by the wise counsel of Merlin and entwined in a passionate love affair with the enchanting Guinevere, Arthur's monumental challenge lies in uniting fractious factions while defending the realm against the imminent Saxon threat.
Fans of Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, and Conn Iggulden will find themselves captivated by this extraordinary narrative. Bernard Cornwell himself shares, “Of all the books I have written, these are my favorites,” making The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur a must-read for any lover of historical fiction.

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.’
