FROM BACK COVER
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Twenty years ago, King Arthur took his last breath in the company of a young knight named Percevale. Ever since then, Percevale has been on a self-imposed mission to find and wreak revenge on Mordred - the man responsible not only for the death of the king but for the collapse of Arthur's once - majestic empire. During his quest, Percevale has led a simple if unfulfilling existence - but now his world is changing in both of those respects. His chance encounter with a young lady named Elaine sets the aging knight off on a path that is exciting and refreshingly different but also forces him to compromise his principles and put his life at stake. The fate of The Last Knight of Albion becomes intertwined with a group of complacent townspeople, an ambitious barbarian king, and a mysterious hermit. By the time his story runs its course, Percevale has finally discovered what is really important in life - and the reader has lived with him through a tale that is much more than just another Arthurian fantasy...
Bittersweet twist after the Fall of Camelot
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This was one of the better books I read about life after the fall of Camelot. Story centers around a knight who tries to live up to the ideals of Arthurian chivalry while helping a town defend itself against a horde of barbarians.Not as much action as I would have liked but if you like bittersweet fantasy tales, this is a good one. Also, look for the second one called THE BOOK OF MORDRED, which is Mordred's version of Camelot (he's sort of a misunderstood scholar who had to deal with an imbecile arthur and a scheming Merlin).Recommend. Didn't make my top ten list of fantasy books/series but got honorbabl mention.
