Chronicle Toward Books The Road to Avalon (Dark Ages of Britain #1)

The pageantry and passionate intrigues of King Arthur’s court are expertly re-created in this historical novel—the only Arthurian novel in which all of the central characters are portrayed as intrinsically good people. This realistic retelling of the legend shows Arthur severing the bonds of bastardy, vanquishing the Saxons, and loving one woman. As the daring teenage warrior prepares for the throne, he discovers true love with Morgan of Avalon, the youngest of Merlin’s daughters, but fate cruelly thwarts their hopes for a future together. Never before has a telling of the Arthur story made the breathtaking drama of this charismatic king more real or moving.

Notice Epithetical Books The Road to Avalon (Dark Ages of Britain #1)

I cannot resist most Arthurian novels my favourite being The Merlin series by Mary Stewart and the Queen of camelot by Nancy McKenzieThis novel focuses on the relationship between Morgan (here Merlins daughter) and Arthur. Morgan being Arthur's love of his lifeBut sympathetic portrayal of Gwenhwyfhar too and her relationship with Bedwyr (who is Lancelot )Great read, good grasp of Britain at the timeThe villain of the piece is usually a minor character in Arthurian literature , but it is well

An absolutely gorgeous retelling of the Arthurian legends. I was enthralled from start to finish, and could hardly be convinced to put the book down once I'd started.(view spoiler)[There are so many renditions of the legends, most of them focusing on the tragic love of Gwenhwyfar and Bedwyr (Lancelot's older, traditional name), or some of the other characters of the stories. Wolf, however, returns to the center of all the legends, to the man who gave these legends his name -- Arthur. A

I read this book so long ago I can't really recall what year it was. I am guessing somewhere around 1988. It is one of my all time favorites. This book sucked me in. At the time I really wasn't much of a reader but I got the "itch" to read one day and took the time to hang out in the library long enough to find this one. I literally walked up and down the isles just looking at titles and covers waiting for something to call out to me. When I came across this one I decided it looked interesting

This was a great read -- I could not put it down. It was wonderful to start with the young Arthur and the experiences that made him the man - king -- that he was. The love story between Arthur and Morgan is truly heartbreaking and will bring tears to your eyes. The scene where Arthur comes face to face with the son he didn't know he had is gut wrenching. I highly recommend this book, as well as the other two that follow in this trilogy, Born of the Sun and The Edge of Light. I wish the author

This was a real page-turner. The characters were all well fleshed out and I really enjoyed the variations on the story of the Arthurian legends. Arthur and Morgan were both especially well done, and I really felt for the character Mordred. It didn't take me long to storm through this book and it is an Arthurian retelling that I will revisit in future.

What I really enjoy about this Arthurian retelling are the Roman Britain setting and Arthur's characterization. Because 1) ROMAN BRITAIN!! (idk to me that is a very fascinating time period) and 2) Arthur is such a noble figure in this story. It's different from, say, The Once and Future King where he's the main character in The Sword and the Stone but then becomes a background character in the rest of the books (and still slightly a background figure in The Candle in the Wind but maybe I'm
