It has been foretold: In the hour of Britainâs greatest need, King Arthur will return to rescue his people. In Portugal, the reprobate King Edward the Ninth has died by his own hand. In England, the British monarchy teeters on the edge of total destruction. And in the Scottish Highlands, a mystical emissary named Mr. Embriesâbetter known as âMerlinââinforms a young captain that he is next in line to the throne. For James Arthur Stuart is not the commoner he has always believed himself to beâhe is Arthur, the legendary King of Summer, reborn. But the road to Englandâs salvation is dangerous, with powerful enemies waiting in ambush. For Arthur is not the only one who has returned from the mists of legend. And Merlinâs magic is not the only sorcery that has survived the centuries. AVALON âA rousing postscript to Lawheadâs bardic Pendragon Cycle . . . Playing off snappy contemporary derring-do against the powerful shining glimpses of the historical Arthur he created, Lawhead pulls off a genuinely moving parable of good and evil.ââPublishers Weekly
