Sinopse

Honor, duty, and passion in a powerful adventure. The first volume of the Arthur Chronicles trilogy.

The Winter King tells the most accurate story of the legendary warrior Arthur, who entered history with the title of king, although he never wore a crown. Based on true events, this brilliant novel portrays the greatest of all heroes as a powerful British warrior who fights the Saxons to keep Britain united in the 5th century, after the Romans left. The valiant soldier grows within the king's army and, in Bernard Cornwell 's narrative, becomes his best friend and advisor in peace and war. In this version of the legend, Arthur—the bastard son of King Uther Pendragon—pledges his allegiance and protection to Mordred, the rightful heir to the throne. In a Britain inhabited by Christians and Druids, divided between different feudal lords and their respective interests, and threatened by the Saxon invasion, Arthur emerges as a powerful and courageous warrior capable of inspiring loyalty and uniting the country with his complex personality, driven by honor, duty, and passion. Cornwell rediscovers interesting facts about the conflicts at the beginning of the Christian era, such as the ritual of cursing. The commanders of the rival armies heated up their mood for battle by meeting in the middle of the field and exchanging insults.

The Winter King is the first volume of the Arthur Chronicles trilogy, which concludes with The Enemy of God and Excalibur, by English writer Bernard Cornwell . One of the most important British authors today, Cornwell has been translated into more than sixteen languages, and his novels quickly reached the top of bestseller lists, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide. The key to his success lies in his meticulous historical research and the engaging narrative with which Cornwell dissects the lives of his characters.
