The intrigue and drama behind England's greatest legend continues in this fourth installment of Jack Whyte's internationally bestselling series.

Born of the chaos of the Dark Ages, the Dream of Eagles produced a king, a country and an everlasting legend. But legends do not tell the whole tale . . .

Uther Pendragon is dead. All that is left of him is his son, the orphaned baby Arthur--heir to the Colony of Camulod and born with both Roman heritage and the royal blood of the Hibernian Scots and the Celtic Welsh--who has been adopted by his cousin Caius Merlyn Britannicus. Merlyn is now the sole custodian of the great dream of his ancestors: that of independent survival in Britain amid the ruins of the Roman Empire. He is also the keeper of Excalibur, the wondrous sword crafted by his great-uncle Publius Varrus. It is up to Merlyn to teach the young Arthur all that he needs to know to unify the diverse clans of Britain under his kingship, and to ensure that the boy survives the deadly threats to his destiny--threats that arise from the bloody Saxon shore.
