Publisher Description

With The Winter King, the first volume of his magnificent Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell turns to the story he was born to write: the mythic saga of King Arthur. Now a major television show.

The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

As Arthur fights to keep a flicker of civilization alive in a barbaric world, Bernard Cornwell makes a familiar tale into a legend all over again.

I have to be honest I've owned all 3 books for several years. These are the only books I've read multiple times. I just finished my fifth time reading them. I love this trilogy my favorite book series, even over GoT. I get so into this story and it feels so believable. This is now what I think of as the story of King Arthur. Explainable magic and old world superstition mixed with a new and growing christian community is perfect even in today's world.
