Description
Following the bestselling Lancelot, Giles Kristian returns to the Arthurian legend in his epic, heart-pounding new novel to tell the story of Galahad, son of Lancelot.
'So beautiful, so haunting . . . bitingly real . . . Giles has given us a vital, glorious story—rich, rewarding, and utterly revealing of our times' — MANDA SCOTT
Following the acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling Lancelot, Giles Kristian's new novel returns us to the Arthurian legend.
The Saxons have returned and their war bands stalk the land. The lords of Britain look only to their own survival, unable or unwilling to unite as they once did under Arthur.
In a monastery hidden in the marshlands of Avalon, a novice monk prepares to take his vows. However, two strangers—the wild-spirited, Saxon-killing Iselle and the ageing warrior Gawain—will pluck him from his sheltered existence, turning his world upside down.
Together they will go in search of the last druid, find the cauldron of a god, and raise an army to hold the darkness at bay.
As they journey, the novice will cast aside his training and embrace his legacy. For he is a warrior born. His name is Galahad. And he is the son of Lancelot.

About the Author
Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling 'Raven' and 'The Rise of Sigurd' trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. His contemporary survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His epic reimagining of our greatest island 'history' continued in Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
