Clothar returns to Gaul as Arthur’s ambassador, seeking alliances for a British kingdom still threatened by invasion and internal division. From across the Channel he watches Arthur and Merlyn attempt to extend law beyond Camulod, while his knowledge of Arthur’s private life places him at the centre of a danger that military victory cannot resolve.

When the bonds among Arthur, Guinevere and Clothar become impossible to contain, personal loyalty begins to undermine the political order they created together. The novel brings the Camulod saga to its conclusion by showing how the achievements of Arthur’s reign survive even as the relationships at its heart move towards tragedy.
