The Dragon's Son (Vol. 1 The Arthurian Chronicles)

In the early Middle Ages, the Roman legions withdraw from the British Isles, leaving power in the hands of Uther Pedragon, the High King of the Britons. The ruler, however, perishes on his deathbed with no prospect of a direct heir to leave the throne to. Unaware of this, Artorex, Lord Ector's foster son, grows up in the isolated Poppiniddi Farm. His life changes when three mysterious men visit him and order him to receive a knight's education. Over the years, Artorex becomes a courageous and skilled warrior. When the men return and summon him to help contain the approaching Saxon threat, it is time for the boy to prove his worth. Only he can unite the Celts again, beginning one of humanity's greatest legends.
