Book excerpt: What will a person give to forsake his destiny? From his very incarnation, Mordred has been a pawn in Camelot's history. Foretold by Merlin that he will grow up to kill his father, the beloved King Arthur, young Mordred struggles with his fate, loathing the great king who tried to kill him as a baby, yet journeying to Camelot where he learns to serve and idolize the legendary leader. Torn between feelings of love and hate, Mordred yearns to make peace with Arthur, who still refuses to acknowledge him. But Mordred is determined to have peace at any price--even if it costs him his soul. In I Am Mordred, one of the most fascinating and misunderstood heroes of Arthurian lore comes to life in an epic fantasy for Camelot fans. "In language worthy of her heroic subject, Springer reworks Arthuriana to craft an original tale resonant with archetypal themes of love, loss, betrayal and reconciliation. Her strong female characters and bold recasting of traditional villains and heroes will draw the rapt attention of both sexes." —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Mordred and the King written by John Michael Curlovitch and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the sixth century. The classical world is dying, rapidly being replaced by the world of the Christians. Prince Mordred is the son of Morgan le Fay, the witch-queen devotee of the Great Goddess, who rules Wales. Morgan and her fellow cultists have for years nurtured a plan to regain control of England, the Christian country ruled by Morgan’s brother, King Arthur, and to destroy everything Arthur has built. And Mordred is key to their scheme. But he has plans of his own. On a hunting trip to the border of Wales, Arthur and his party lose their way and end up in Morgan’s realm. Visiting her castle, Arthur is glimpsed by young Mordred, who falls instantly, hopelessly in love with him. In no time Mordred begins to plan to escape from his mother and join Arthur in England. But before he can act, his mother carries him off on an odyssey that crosses the breadth of Europe. Everywhere they witness signs of their dying civilization. Finally they arrive at ancient Colchis, center of the Goddess’ cult, where Mordred encounters a mystical age-old evil that changes him forever. Newly empowered by his experience, Mordred escapes from his mother and makes his way across the continent, to England and Arthur. Arthur welcomes him warmly to Camelot, and a tender, loving relationship soon blossoms between them. But there is opposition to their love. Mordred is Morgan le Fay’s son, after all, which raises suspicions that he is a spy or an assassin in waiting. Arthur is compelled to go to war against his estranged wife Guinevere, who is in France with her lover Lancelot. While he is off making war, Morgan appears at Camelot to make one last bid to recruit Mordred back to her side, urging him to kill Arthur and seize the throne of England. But Mordred rebuffs her still again. So Morgan musters her forces and prepares for all-out war against Arthur and his Christian knights. And its final outcome is anyone’s guess. Rich in historical detail and epic in its chronicle of the worlds of Arthur, including those of his romantic and sexual desires, Mordred and the King is a sweeping journey through a retelling of the ancient legend.

Book Synopsis King Arthur & Mordred by : Jess Browning
Download or read book King Arthur & Mordred written by Jess Browning and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to William Claxton, Sir Thomas Malory's book Le Morte D'Arthur original workwas finished in the ninth year of Edward IV. It is considered to be the last important English book written before the introduction of printing into England. Claxton's own story of how the book was brought to him and why he printed it may be read in his own preface. From this we learn also that he was not only the printer of the book, but to some extent its editor also, dividing Malory's work into twenty-one books, splitting up the books into chapters. This edition retains the chapters of Vol. I, Book One and an attempt has been made to retain his work while making it easier for the reader to follow the story using modern English and updated spelling.

Book excerpt: Return to a time of legend—the days of Guinevere and Arthur and the glory that was to become Camelot On the night of Guinevere’s birth, a wise woman declares a prophecy of doom for the child: She will be gwenhwyfar, the white shadow, destined to betray her king, and be herself betrayed. Years pass, and Guinevere becomes a great beauty, riding free across Northern Wales on her beloved horse. She is entranced by the tales of the valorous Arthur, a courageous warrior who seems to Guinevere no mere man, but a legend. Then she finds herself betrothed to that same famous king, a hero who commands her willing devotion. Just as his knights and all his subjects, she falls under Arthur’s spell. At the side of King Arthur, Guinevere reigns strong and true. Yet she soon learns how the dark prophecy will reveal itself. She is unable to conceive. Arthur’s only true heir is Mordred, offspring of a cursed encounter with the witch Morgause. Now Guinevere must make a fateful choice: She decides to raise Mordred, teaching him to be a ruler and to honor Camelot. She will love him like a mother. Mordred will be her greatest joy–and the key to her ultimate downfall. “Guinevere comes alive—a strong, resourceful, and compassionate woman, accessible to modern folk . . . The Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot triangle comes alive as well—believable, poignant, and bearing the seeds of tragedy.”—Katherine Kurtz
