Arthur, The Scourge of Kings

Stephen R Hartnell

Young Arthur struggles beneath the title of Prince, Dux Bellorum in the war-scarred kingdoms ‎of sixth-century Britannia. He is heir to a father whose ambition is as cold as it is unforgiving. ‎Aruthur being too young to be hardened and too burdened to be free is haunted by the lives lost ‎under his command and the contempt of a king who sees him only as a tool of war. Desperate ‎to prove he is more than a pawn, he embarks on a reckless quest for a mythical cauldron ‎spoken of in half-forgotten legends, only to ignite a brutal conflict with the vengeful Irish Ulaid. ‎As war looms, He must confront betrayal within his own family, while longing for the love of ‎the distant, enigmatic priestess Gwenhwyfar. Arthur The Scourge of Kings is a raw, intimate reimagining ‎of a legendary figure. Where leadership scars, love wounds are forged through loss, regret and ‎blood.‎
