Fiction Adventure
It is the time of Arthur, but this is not his storied epic.
Arthur is a young and powerful warrior who some would say
stands on the brink of legend. Britain’s leaders have come
to elect a new supreme king, and Arthur is favored. But
when a young woman is brutally murdered and the blame is
placed at Merlin’s feet, Arthur’s reputation is at stake
and his enemies are poised to strike. Arthur turns to
Malgwyn ap Cuneglas, a man whose knowledge of battle and
keen insight into how the human mind works has helped
Arthur come to the brink of kingship. Malgwyn is also the man who hates Arthur most in the world. After the death of Malgwyn's wife by Saxon hands, he became
Mad Malgwyn, killer of Saxons and right-hand lieutenant to
the warrior Arthur. Right hand, that is, until a Saxon cut
his sword arm off and left him to die on the battlefield.
Arthur rescued him. Now a one-armed scribe and a heavy
drinker, Malgwyn rejects the half-life that his liege gave
him. But loyalty is sometimes stronger than loathing…and
Malgwyn is pulled toward a puzzle that he can’t walk away
from. Think CSI: Medieval: gritty, powerful, and with the true
ring of historical perspective and a character who sees
more than those around him. The Killing Way is the first in
a mystery series that is sure to be a hit with both mystery
readers and historical fans alike.
