Overview: The end of an era. The birth of a legend…
This is the complete story of Arthur, bastard son of the high king of Venedotia, the young warrior who would rally the Britons against their enemies and inspire one of the greatest myths of all time.
Based on the earliest Arthurian legends, the Arthur of the Cymry trilogy follows Arthur as he grows from boy to man in the ruins of post-Roman Britain. Against all odds, he rallies a band of loyal followers including the hot-tempered Cei, the one-handed Beduir and the fierce Guenhuifar who despises his family with a passion she struggles to overcome. From his penultimate triumph over the Saxons at the Battle of Badon to his devastating confrontation with his nephew Medraut at Camlan, the Arthur of the Cymry trilogy breathes new life into the shadowy characters of a forgotten age.
Set in the tumultuous Dark Ages, this rip-roaring adventure of Celtic myth and real history takes the legend of King Arthur back to its roots in the folklore of early medieval Wales. Not to be missed!

1. Sign of the White Foal
A generation after Hengest and Horsa carved out a kingdom in the east, a hero of the Britons rises in the west…
North Wales, 480 A.D. The sons of Cunedag have ruled Venedotia for fifty years but the chief of them – the Pendraig – is now dying. His sons Cadwallon and Owain must fight to retain their birthright from their envious cousins. As civil war consumes Venedotia, Arthur – a young warrior and bastard son of the Pendraig – is sent on a perilous quest that will determine the fate of the kingdom.
The Morgens; nine priestesses of the Mother Goddess have found the cauldron of rebirth – a symbol of otherworldly power – and have allied themselves with the enemy. Arthur and six companions are dispatched to the mysterious island of Ynys Mon to steal the cauldron and break the power of the Morgens. Along the way they run into the formidable Guenhuifar whose family have been stewards of Ynys Mon for generations. They need her help. The trouble is, Guenhuifar despises Arthur’s family and all they stand for…
2. Banner of the Red Dragon
The South Saxons have pushed westwards under their ruthless leader Aelle. The great general Ambrosius Aurelianus – last defender of the Britons – has been captured. Heeding the call for help, Arthur leads the Teulu of the Red Dragon south… to war.
As the battle for Albion rages, Guenhuifar finds herself up to her neck in political intrigue as she tries to unmask an assassin and foil a plot to plunge Venedotia into another civil war. And a young boy called Peredur will do whatever it takes to join Arthur’s warband.
From the mist-shrouded Isle of the Dead to the bleak moors and crashing surf of Dumnonia, war is brewing. The fate of Albion hangs in the balance as the defining conflict of the era creeps ever closer; the Battle of Badon…
3. Field of the Black Raven
The death of an era. The Birth of a legend.
The Saxons are defeated. The British kingdoms work towards a future of peace and for Arthur, it is time to return home to the mountains of Venedotia. But an even worse enemy wreaks death in his absence; the pestilence, a black hand that snuffs out life leaving only corpses in its wake.
With the death of the Pendraig Cadwallon, Arthur comes home to find a crisis of succession. Many good men are drawn into a tangled web of lies including Arthur’s nephew and foster-son Medraut. Finding themselves on opposite sides of a war not of their making, they race towards a devastating confrontation. It is on the banks of the River Camlan that many journeys come to an end and history becomes legend.
