THE SILURIAN Book 8: Last Man to Avalon THE KING OF THE FUTURE The final book of The Silurian series is the road to Avalon, paved with death and endings; the end of an heroic age that grows ever darker with the fall of Arthur-and Bedwyr fights to the last of his living strength to keep his warrior-king alive. Yet both Arthur and Bedwyr know their lives have come full circle, and all efforts to save the Bear from falling is futile, as Arthur knows and accepts his destiny is to die on the battlefield of traitors.

Set in the Dark Ages of Post-Roman Britain, The Silurian is the story of King Arthur told in a compelling new voice. A first person narrative, spoken in grim and graphic detail by Arthur's closest friend and foster-brother, Prince Bedwyr, the Fox. A boy of sixteen, taken to his first great conflict, Bedwyr begins his story on the battlefield where Arthur lies missing after having won his first engagement to war against the invading Saxons, Hengist and Horsa. This is the Fifth Century AD, a time of fierce honesty, as Bedwyr's own words speak it, the words of a young warrior who lives his life in the blood, guts, turmoil and love of an age that was both brutal and brilliant.

This book reveals the true identity of Arthur, and locates his courts and long-forgotten battle sites such as Badon and Camlan. It also uncovers the secret of the mysterious Isle of Avalon and Arthur's resting place in a Breton church. The authors present a convincing and conclusive answer to the puzzle of King Arthur. Glossary of terms in Welsh and English. Bibliography. Index. 78 illustrations.

A YOUNG WARLORD ARISES Arthur, at age fifteen, has won a great battle between British and Saxon forces, seizing the day from his own supreme commander, Ambrosius Aurelianus. This his first battle win inspires the young Arthur to begin his rise to take full control of Britain's armies with the aid of his first cousin, Medraut, the son of Lot, Uthyr's Pendragon's younger brother. Yet Arthur's rise becomes Bedwyr's greatest challenge: Prince Bedwyr, called the Fox, and Arthur's foster-brother, is the narrator of 'The Silurian' series, and it is through his eyes, through his power and passion, that the great saga of Arthur's life in seen and told. Yet life with the charismatic Arthur is not always easy for the Fox-for Arthur is a challenge in himself. And when Arthur's power rises, Bedwyr's life begins a downward slide into rebellion, and he leaves on a lone path of confusion to fight his inner demons, to find who he really is as his great friend and foster-brother rises higher and higher-high enough for the young Arthur to face his own father, Uthyr, in battle for the right to fly the Red Dragon banner of the Pendragon Warlords. Arthur's battles will one day make Bedwyr the Fox a hero, if only he can stand firm as Arthur's first man, his shield-bearer and brother-in-arms; stand to tell the tale of The Silurian in his own passionate words.
