Información de la editorial

A. A. Attanasio's eagerly awaited third installment of his Arthurian saga is a tale rich in myth and magic where young King Arthor must defend his kingdom from the Saxon warriors that threaten to devour all of Britain.

The Great Wheel That is to Become the Round Table is on its way to Camelot, but long before it arrives, Arthor, Eagle of Thor, must establish himself as the leader of his kingdom both in name and in fact. His fragile new order is put to the test by the ancient sorceries of his own people and by the Saxon empire that constantly threatens to consume his land. To make matters worse, Merlin, his mentor, is no longer at his side, for he has descended into Hell itself to ward off the Fire Lords who give the universe its shimmering form. And in the midst of these battles, Arthor must seek the sacred Graal and the earthly love that are part of his destiny.

With each book in the series more successful than the last, this critically acclaimed Arthurian epic establishes A. A. Attanasio as one of today's most provocative fantasy writers.

"Strikingly unconventional ... passionate ... a remarkable work in progress". -- Locus

"Attanasio mixes Arthurian lore with Norse gods, modern physics, and sundry faerie creatures in this literary, passionate novel. There has been nothing else quite like it". -- Teri Windling, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror
