However, two strangers - the wild-spirited, Saxon-killing Iselle and the ageing warrior Gawain - will pluck him from his sheltered existence and his world will be turned upside down. Together they will go in search of the last druid, to find the cauldron of a god, and to raise an army to hold the darkness at bay. And as they journey, so the novice will cast aside his training and embrace his legacy. For he is a warrior born. His name is Galahad. And he is the son of Lancelot . . . Acclaim for Lancelot: 'A masterpiece.' Conn Iggulden 'Stands head and shoulders above the rest.' Manda Scott 'Glorious. Tragic. Lyrical. Totally gripping.' Ben Kane 'A gorgeous, rich retelling.'

We lusted for an even greater prize...th e one prize that can never be lost or stolen or burnt. And we would find it in Miklagard... Raven and the Wolfpack have suffered. Good men have died, treasure has been lost. But to Norsemen such as these there is something more valuable than silver: fame - for fame is the saga-story that a warrior leaves behind when he dies. Now the Fellowship sails in search of Constantinople, which they call Miklagard, for it is there that they hope to find both riches and glory. It is a voyage that will lead them into unknown and dangerous waters - from the barren, wind-whipped marshes of the Carmargue to the crumbling walls and blood-drenched arenas of a decaying Rome, from brutal hand-to-hand conflict, to vile treachery and betrayal. And as Miklagard echoes to the sound of sword and axe and spear, Raven and his fellow adventurers will pay a high price for the fame they seek...

If you betray a Fellowship you are a dead man... Sailing in search of revenge, the pagan Norsemen venture into the heart of a Christian empire that would wipe their kind from the face of the earth, a place where danger lies in wait around every bend of the great river up which they travel.

Conn Iggulden has called it 'a masterpiece,' while The Times hails it 'a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale.' In a world where the legions of Rome are but a memory and enemies lurk at the edges of Britain, Uther Pendragon faces death. A boy, a refugee from fire and betrayal, emerges as an outsider with only a hawk and haunting memories for company. Gifted and guided by Merlin and the Lady Nimue, he begins his journey to manhood. Along the way, he encounters Guinevere, a proud girl ostracized for her own gift, and Arthur, a warrior embodying the hopes of his people. Yet, in these tumultuous times, friendship and love seem fated to fail. The gods are fading, and treachery reigns, threatening the very fate of Britain. The young renegade who left Benoic with dreams of revenge transforms into a formidable lord of war, a man both loved and loathed. He is Lancelot, a figure of both reverence and scorn. Set in 5th century Britain besieged by Saxons, Franks, Irish, and Picts, this epic novel unfolds in Lancelot's voice, recounting the tale of the knight who fought alongside Arthur yet stole his wife—a story poised for re-imagination in contemporary times.

When raiders from across the sea ransack his village, Osric finds himself taken prisoner by their chief, Sigurd the Lucky.

He and Sofia are not the old couple's only visitors that night - and soon he and Sofia will be running for their lives . ...and beneath the swirling light show of the Northern Lights, a desperate fight ensues - of man against man, of man against nature - a fight for survival that plays out across the snow and ice.
