Britain after Roman rule. Valdor, serving as Comes Britanniarum, accepts the kingship of Logres as the old imperial command structure fragments. Under the guidance of the seer Myrddin he takes the name Arthur and attempts to unite the surviving British forces from a stronghold remembered as Camelot.

Successive invasions force Arthur to combine Roman military practice with the personal loyalties of post-Roman kingship. As he prepares for the Battle of Mons Badonicus, prophecy promises a period of peace but also raises questions about the cost of becoming the ruler later generations will transform into legend.
