The Retreat to Avalon
The Arthurian Age Book 1
by Sean Poage
Genre: Arthurian Historical Fiction Adventure
Fifteen
hundred years have turned history into legend…
After
three generations of struggle against ruthless invaders, Britain has
finally clawed its way back within reach of peace and prosperity.
Across the sea, Rome is crumbling under an onslaught of barbarian
attacks, internal corruption and civil war. Desperate for allies,
Rome’s last great emperor looks to Britain and the rising fame of
her High King, Arthur.
Arthur
believes the coming war is inevitable, but many are opposed. Dissent,
intrigue and betrayal threaten to tear the fragile British alliance
apart from within, while the enemies of Britain wait for the first
sign of weakness.
Meanwhile,
Gawain, a young warrior craving fame, is swept up in Arthur’s wake
as the king raises an army. While Gawain’s wife and kin face their
own struggles at home, the young warrior finds himself taking on more
than he bargained for, and heading into the greatest battle his
people have faced in generations.
The
Retreat to Avalon is the exciting beginning of the historical fiction
trilogy The Arthurian Age, introducing readers to the origins of King
Arthur and the world he lived and fought for.
