King Arthur sails off to distant shores to fight the threats that reside there, leaving his queen to defend the throne against ambitious schemers The final volume in a trilogy about Arthurian England finds Arthur sailing off to distant shores to fight the threats that reside there, leaving his queen to defend the throne against ambitious schemers. Britain lies uneasily at peace, and Arthur Pendragon, King of Britain, is secure in his stronghold in the heart of the Summer Lands. Ever the fighter, he defies the advice of his wife Gwenhwyfar to sail for Gaul to defend his territories in Less Britain, leaving his country vulnerable and leaderless. When word comes that the Pendragon has fallen in battle, Gwenhwyfar, at Caer Cadan with their small daughter, faces overthrow by the powerful council headed by Arthur's uncle, who is anxious to reassert Roman ways. Also opposed by Arthur's ambitious ex-wife, Winifred, keen to advance her own son as the rightful heir, Gwenhwyfar must struggle to carve out a future for herself and her daughter. But, unknown to Gwenhwyfar, events abroad mean a far mightier battle for the Pendragon throne - and the very future of Britain itself - lies ahead.
