In fifth-century Britain, Roman government has disappeared and rival peoples press against fractured British kingdoms. Lancelot looks back on a life shaped by loss, training and warfare, from the world of the Lady Nimue to his place beside Arthur. His ability with a sword makes him one of the ruler’s most valuable companions as Arthur attempts to unite resistance against enemies within and beyond Britain.

Lancelot’s devotion to Arthur is complicated by his love for Guinevere, turning military service and personal loyalty into competing obligations. Kristian recasts the familiar legend within a harsh post-Roman landscape where alliances are fragile and supernatural belief remains close to daily life. The result is a warrior’s account of friendship, desire and the choices that contribute to the destruction of the world he helped build.
