A story of love, war, loyalty and betrayal, EXCALIBUR begins with the failure of Lancelot's rebellion and the ruin of Arthur's marriage to Guinevere. The Saxons, sensing the disunity of the Britons, seize the chance to destroy Arthur. The climax of the war comes with the legendary triumph at Mount Badon, and Arthur's great victory. But the promises he made then come back to haunt him after the years of peace and glory.

It took me a really long time to get to this series. I kept reading the first few pages of the first book, going "this is too weird" and quitting. This time I stuck it through though, and inhaled the whole thing in less than a week. I'm so glad I did! This is not the traditional Arthur tale, but the book took me back to Celtic Britain in a way few books have.
