The Dark Ages: a time of chaos and bloodshed. The Roman
legions have long deserted the isles and the despotic Uther
Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death. As
the tyrant falters, his kingdom is being torn apart by the
minor kings who jostle for his throne. But only one man can
bring the Celts together as a nation and restore peace –
King Arthur. We meet Arthur first as a shy, subservient twelve-year-old
living in the home of Lord Ector, who took in the boy when
he was a babe to protect him from murderous kin. One day,
three influential men arrive at Ector’s villa and arrange
for Arthur to be taught the skills of the warrior: blade and
shield, horse and fire, pain and bravery. When they return years later, the country is in desperate
straits, for the great cities of the east are falling to the
menace of the Saxon hordes. In spite of Uther, Arthur becomes a war chieftain and wins
many battles to earn him the trust of his Celtic warriors
and prove that he alone can unite the tribes. But if he is
to fulfill his destiny and become the High King, Arthur must
find Uther’s crown and sword. The future of Britain is at stake.
