Enemy of God: A Novel of Arthur [Paperback]

WithThe Winter King, the first volume of his magnificent Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell established himself as the storyteller who could reinvent the legend of King Arthur for our time.

Now withEnemy of God, Cornwell's magical re-creation continues. Having defeated the last holdouts of civil war in southern Britain, Arthur has secured Mordred's throne. But he must still face raging conflicts between the old ways and the new, as well as foes more powerful and more dangerous--because they pose as friends.

Brilliantly written and peopled with the familiar faces of legend along with new ones,Enemy of Godis an immensely powerful continuation of a modern classic.

Bernard Cornwell,who was born in Britain, is the author of numerous international bestsellers, including the Sharpe series. He lives with his wife in Cape Cod.

Rousing, persuasive entertainment. Kirkus Reviews

Writing with brio, Cornwell puts a fresh perspective on these oft-retold events. Realistically gory battles and doomed romantic exploits flavor the narrative, while the strong characterizations bring the men and women behind the legends to vivid life. Publishers Weekly?
