Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.

To save his people, a warrior must become more than a kin

Dark Age Britain crumbles.

Cruel Kings of Britain sit alone atop their hilltop fortresses as brutal Saxon invaders push ever forwards, greedy for plunder and weakened British kingdoms to conquer.

Blood feuds, jealousy, and pride keeps these Kingdoms isolated. Only the Pendragon, Uther, the high King of kings, has the power to unite the armies of Britain against their common enemy. But Uther Pendragon refuses to march to war as the Saxon hordes under the bloodthirsty leadership of Lord Octha grow ever stronger, quashing all that stands in his way.

Arthur leads a solitary warband, searching wild and lawless badlands bringing the fight to the savage Saxon warlords. As war brews,

Merlin stirs up legends of Arthur, Excalibur, and the old gods, kindling a spark of hope in men’s hearts to unite and fight back.

As Saxon armies mass for war and destruction, Arthur must embrace the legend.

Can he bring the Pendragon to war, and march with the force of Britain to crush the Saxon invaders?

It will take all of Merlin’s power, Arthur’s iron will, and the strength of Excalibur to win this epic battle for the future of Britain.

The continuation of the compelling, fast-paced series from bestselling writer Peter Gibbons. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell.

The second book in Peter Gibbons, The Arthurian Chronicles, Pendragon, was no less fascinating than the first!

This is historical fiction that kept me turning the pages. A retelling of King Arthur but with more reality than you would expect. Arthur is so vivid and definitely human in these books. Peter Gibbons has yet again created a story that entwines fact, fiction, and fables together in such a way that I couldn’t tell where the facts ended and the fiction began.

The battles are depicted in all the brutality you would expect from this era. The action makes it a gripping read. I am getting used to this with Peter Gibbons writing. I always wonder if I will enjoy his newest book as much as his previous work. I don’t even understand why I think like this! He always has the best ‘recipe’ to tick every box.

Pendragon swept me back in time so easily that I was unwilling to return to 2024 until I read every last word. I find I always learn something when I read historical fiction, and this makes me feel a little more educated with every book that I glean new facts from. Pendragon fulfilled that for me, too.

Such a rich and vivid instalment in this series. I am looking forward to his next book!
