Arthur by Giles Kristian

Antonia Senior in The Times said: 'Superb . . . authentic and terrifying . . . fans of Bernard Cornwell's Winter King trilogy will devour this and conclude that Kristian has surpassed the Master.' And readers are loving ARTHUR . . . 'By far the best Arthurian story I have had the honour to read.' ***** ' Brilliant writing, excellent characterization, and immersive storytelling.' ***** ' I've adored this trilogy. The best re-telling of Arthur's legend I've read, and I'd include Cornwell's in that.' ***** ' The ending is bloody and glorious, and very well done. One last thunder of hooves, one last trill of the trumpets. I'm just gutted it's over, I could have read on and on.' ***** ' Enough originality and sheer writing talent to make it a literary must.' ***** ' This is proper storytelling that does not let down those characters of legend.' ***** Years have passed since the clash of shield-walls echoed across the land . . . The Saxons are now the lords of Britain. And yet the bards still sing of Arthur - 'In our darkest time, when we need him most, shall he come again.'

Superb. . authentic and terrifying . . . fans of Bernard Cornwell’s Winter King trilogy will devour this and conclude that Kristian has surpassed the Master. -- Antonia Senior * THE TIMES *
For me, Arthur is Kristian’s crowning achievement. Taken together, his trilogy will surely stand in a high place of honour among the many great retellings of the legend of Arthur. -- THEODORE BRUN, author of The Wanderer Chronicles
The best re-telling of Arthur's legend I've read . . . Giles brings Dark Age Britain to life in a way no one else could. He touches all your senses, from the sight of a rook in flight to the smell of Britain's rich earth. Every bird, tree, landmark or hilltop painted in vivid colour for the reader as they travel through the Dark Isles in the midst of legends of old . . . bloody and glorious, and very well done. -- ADAM LOFTHOUSE, author of Ravensworn
Shines out like a beacon . . . the characters scarred and ravaged by time, it pulls no punches in its depiction of the dark ages, these were brutal and hard times . . . the ending is sublime . . . full of heart and emotion . . . had me spellbound throughout. * AMWBOOKS *
Every now and then, a book comes along that stands head and shoulders above the rest . . . it is perfection. If there is only one book you read this year, make sure it is Arthur by Giles Kristian. -- Sharon Bennett Connolly * HISTORY...THE INTERESTING BITS! *

Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling 'Raven' and 'The Rise of Sigurd' trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. His contemporary survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His epic reimagining of our greatest island 'history' continued in Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur.
Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
