They called him unfit to rule, a lowborn, callow boy, Uther’s bastard. But his coming had been foretold in the songs of the bard Taliesin. And he had learned powerful secrets at the knee of the mystical sage Merlin. In order to bring about the Summer Kingdom—the reign of peace and prosperity foreseen by Taliesin—Arthur must first unite the petty British kings under his banner as High King and Pendragon of the Island of the Mighty. A period of intense warfare and considerable treachery follows with Arthur narrowly prevailing, greatly aided by Merlin’s guidance and counsel. But that is only the beginning… Wave upon wave of barbarian troops, traitorously assisted by some of the defeated British kings, batter Arthur’s depleted forces. Once again, following an epic struggle against terrible odds, the High King prevails. Peace reigns, the Summer Kingdom flowers, but only for a season. Soon Arthur will face his greatest test—a deadly trap set by the sorceress Morgian with his beloved Queen Gwenhwyvar as the bait…
For fifteen centuries, legends of King Arthur have inspired generations. In the misty past of a Britain under siege, half-remembered events became shrouded in ancient myth and folklore. The resulting tales were told and retold, until over time Arthur, Camelot, Avalon, the Round Table, the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Lancelot and Guinevere all became instantly recognizable icons. Along the way, Arthur's life and times were recast in the mould of the hero's journey: his miraculous conception at Tintagel through the magical intercession of his shaman guide, Merlin; the childhood deed of pulling the Sword from the Stone through which Arthur was anointed King; the Quest for the Holy Grail, the most sacred object in Christendom; the betrayal of Arthur by his wife and champion; and the apocalyptic battle between Good and Evil, ending with Arthur's journey to the Otherworld. Arthur: God and Hero in Avalon views Arthur in terms of comparative mythology, and argues that the Once and Future King remains relevant because his story speaks so eloquently about universal human needs and anxieties. The book discusses the tales of King Arthur, from the very earliest versions to the most recent film and television adaptations, and offers readers an insight into why Arthur remains so popular.
Arthur is the third book of The Pendragon Cycle: a magnificent epic set against the backdrop of Roman Britain and the legends of Arthur and lost Atlantis. "It is the eve of Christ Mass, and the noblemen have come to Londinium to hold council - to essay who among them might become High King. Fifteen years have come and gone since the sword was first placed there. A young man stands grim-faced, gazing at the sword thrust deep into the stone... hesitant, uncertain. 'Take it, Arthur,' Merlin tells him..." So the story begins - a tale of high hope and bitter endeavour, of loyalty and treachery, of spiritual quest and the winning of a kingdom - a story whose end, as its beginning, is shrouded in mystery.

Nirgends w hrt der Frieden lang; die Gem ter schwingen im kleinen Ich, das Gewalt zeitigt. Und die Herrscher fragen nur, was ihr Volk ihnen geben kann, bis Arthurs Vater auf seiner Insel fragt, was er dem Volk geben kann. Als Nachfolger regiert der Jugendliche, dem ein Lichtdiamant geh rt, mit seinen Freunden. Sie setzen die Beteiligung der Sippen, D rfer und anderen Gemeinschaften fort, ber die Steuern entscheidet das Althing. Arthur verteidigt den Boden siegreich gegen Landr uber, aber nach dem Krieg erweist sich als vor dem Krieg, und die Verb ndeten springen ab. Aus dem Nichts gew hrt eine hoch bewinterte Herrscherin vom Festland dem Inselvolk Beistand. Um den einzigen Alliierten an Arthur zu binden, verlangt sein Freundeskreis von ihm die diplomatische Heirat. Eines der Mitglieder wei , dass es sich bei der hohen Frauwe um die K nigin der Elben handelt, verschweigt es aber. Die Wesen aus dem Ersten Zeitalter sehen seit jeher sehr jung aus. Ihnen liegt viel daran, den kleinlichen Erdbewohnern zu genug Seelenlicht zu verhelfen; der Quelle des Friedens. In ihre K nigin verliebt sich Arthur unsterblich. Doch sogar ihm als dem tiefblickenden Pflegesohn einer Fee entgeht, dass die Glut des Mordens aus den Seeschlachten seinen Gef hlen und Gedanken einfl stert. Auf Arda, der Wohnst tte der Lebewesen, macht sie die Quelle des Schlechten aus. Arthur wertet die erstaunliche Kriegst chtigkeit der Elben als Einladung zur Beutenahme bei fr heren Invasoren; unterschwellig treiben ihn Begehren nach einem Gro reich. Daran zerbrechen Ehe und Pakt krachend. W hrend seines Rachefeldzugs setzt Arthurs Untergang ein, doch sehen die Elben einen Ausweg: die Transformation vom kleinlichen Erdbewohner zum Elben zum Menschen. Arthur soll als Pionier ein Herz entwickeln, das von Licht berbordet. Nur so bertrumpft man die Glut des Mordens und macht Arda, die Wohnst tte der Lebewesen, frei von ihr. Die Hoffnungen richten sich auf Arthur. Erf llt er sie?
