About this ebook
This first novel in Jack Whyte's riveting Arthurian series tells how the story of Camelot may have actually come to be.
We all know the story—how Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and how Camelot came to be.
But how did it really happen?
The Roman citizens of Britain faced a deadly choice: leave to live in a corrupt Roman world, or stay amidst the violence of the warring factions of Picts, Celts, and invading Saxons.
For Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus, there is only one answer. They will stay, try to preserve the best of Roman life, and create a new culture from the wreckage.
In doing so, they will plant the seeds of a legend. For these two men are Arthur's great-grandfathers and their actions will shape a nation...and forge the sword known as Excalibur.

Best Arthur stories ever. All of Jack Whyte's books are 5 stars. My problem with this electronic version is the spelling. It's like they hired an illiterate to type it up & proofread it.

An excellent blend of history and storytelling! A well written tour through history and fantasy with great characters and a rich storyline that's delivered at a nice pace. Over the years I've read the series twice with equal gratification on the second read. Warning: if you read this book you're going to buy the other eight in the series.

This story grabbed me quickly and feircly and has refused to let go despite having finished the series long ago and several times over.
