About The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell

Set in the Dark Ages, The Winter King reimagines the struggle for power in Britain after the death of Uther, its High King. Uther’s infant son Mordred is the heir, while Arthur, Mordred’s uncle, takes charge as caretaker of a country in turmoil.

As rivalries among the British kingdoms threaten unity and Saxon armies prepare to invade, Arthur tries to hold the country together. His story also involves a doomed romance with Guinevere and the influence of Merlin’s magic. This first volume of The Warlord Chronicles will suit readers looking for Arthurian historical fiction with fantasy elements and a Dark Ages setting.
