Fantasy
by Bernard Cornwell · The Warlord Chronicles series
Bernard Cornwell strips away the romanticism of Camelot to reveal a gritty, brutal Dark Ages Britain where Arthur is a warlord fighting to unite fractured kingdoms. Told through the eyes of Derfel, a Saxon warrior sworn to Arthur's service, the novel presents the legend as blood-soaked historical fiction with vivid battle sequences and complex political maneuvering. Magic exists only as superstition in this grounded, visceral retelling.
