Series: Twilight of the Celts

The first part in an epic sequel to M.K. Hume's King Arthur trilogy

The legend of King Arthur lives on...

King Artor lies slain and Ector, a mere boy, is acknowledged as the legitimate heir to the kingdom.

But the land of the Celts is weakened and Ector grows up torn between a sense of doom and duty.

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Arden, it is revealed to young Arthur that he is the Bastard Prince, son of King Artor and Lady Elayne.

Trained in the skills of a warrior, Arthur cannot challenge the position of

his ruler and childhood friend, but nor can he stand back and watch Briton crumble under the threat of invasion. As the Last Dragon, he must ensure that his father's legacy lives on...

Reviews for Last Dragon (#1 Twilight of the Celts)

It's a slice of history that's totally, utterly believable. Magnificent * www.booksmonthly.co.uk * Exciting, violent and bloody... Up there with Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell * www.lovereading.co.uk * Historical fiction of the most bloodthirsty and roistering kind * Australian Bookseller & Publishers Magazine * Hume deftly navigates the Arthurian legends, populating them with likable and despicable characters, and casting them in a fully realized historical setting * Publishers Weekly * Hume brings the bloody, violent, conniving world vividly to life...will appeal to those who thrill to Game of Thrones and other tales of intersecting, ever-warring, noble lineages * Kirkus Review *
