The Eagle by Jack Whyte
The Eagle brings us at last to the heart of the tale, the creation of fabled Camelot and the love story that enshrined its glory. Whyte takes us into the minds and lives of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot, three astonishing but fallible people who were bound together by honor, loyalty, and love. Three created the glory that was Britain's shining dream...and, some say, caused its downfall.The Gaulish nobleman Clothar - known in our time as Lancelot - is drawn to the young High King's court by tales of honor and nobility, where he meets a man whose love of law matches his own. More, he finds in Arthur a life-long friend whose dream of uniting the people of Britain in peace Clothar embraces. And Clothar meets Arthur's queen, a wondrous beauty whose passion and ideals match her husband's. Together they work to bring Arthur's dream to life.But dark forces rise in opposition to Arthur's plans for creating this noble island nation and it is hard to tell friend from foe in the swirling chaos that ensues. Many tales have been told of the dream that shined and died. This one will astonish even the most jaded.Jack Whyte was born in Scotland and moved to Canada in 1967 after growing up there. He is an actor, orator, singer, and poet who has been honored with an honorary doctorate of letters for his contributions to Canadian popular literature. The Dream of Eagles series (eight Arthurian novels set in Roman Britain) and the Templar Trilogy (containing the fabled Knights Templar) are among his works. Whyte's books are also available in the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Brazil, and Russia. Kelowna, British Columbia, is his home.
