(The first book in the King's Knight series)
A novel by

 
 
King's Knight is the legend of King Arthur, but not as you know it. This is the dark truth of Camelot told from the perspective of Sir Kay, Arthur's foster-brother.

Hated by his fellow knights for his arrogance and bullying, Kay reveals the secrets behind Arthur's glorious reign. From the moment Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, through savage wars and diabolical plots, Kay has remained loyal to his foster-brother, and struggled to keep order among the Knights of the Round Table.

Here, in the first volume, Kay tells of war against the Saxons, his passionate love for a Northumbrian princess, and his adventures in the distant northern land of Thule, home to bloodthirsty warriors, insane witches and a monstrous man-eating cat…

Based on Welsh traditions as well as English and French versions of Arthurian legend, the King’s Knight stories are a fantastical version of the age-old story, told from the perspective of a complex and neglected character.

KING'S KNIGHT (VOLUME ONE: PENDRAGON RISING) is by David Pilling, author of The Bloody Hand Saga, The Champion, Longsword, Leader of Battles, Reiver, Caesar's Sword, Edward I and Wales, and many other fiction and nonfiction works.

Genre: Thriller
