This is a great series! This book keeps things moving and very interesting. Whyte paints a wonderful picture for the story of how the family of Arthur evolves.

Great book, second in the series of Arthurian legend. The first is the Skystone. Takes the reader back to the fall of the Roman empire in Britain. A lot of really interesting detail about Roman colonial life, particularly that of the retired soldier. Also a lot of good information about Roman Britain. Very interesting characterization, and a good plot. Plus, I love the Arthur legend, and this is a novel lead-in to the same.

An extremely entertaining book, and one I didn't want to put down, but wanted to read all at once!

All of the books in this series by Jack Whyte are excellent. He spins the Camaloud myth through historical fiction. Very well done.
