What this book is about
The concluding Warlord Chronicles novel brings Derfel's account of Arthur to its end: Camlann, the battle that destroyed the Round Table dream, and the fragmentation of Britain that followed. Cornwell's Arthurian Britain concludes without sentimentality — the real Dark Ages close in, and the legend begins.
