Arthurian Fiction

Vesper and Aster need Excalibur to save the world. At the top of Glastonbury Tor, they find an elevator down to the enchanted realm of Camelot, where Arthur has been waiting for this day. The elderly King and his loyal knights snap to attention – at last they have a quest! But Excalibur will only serve its chosen master. What would anyone do with such power?

Le jeune et inconséquent roi Joffrey semble bien installé sur le trône de fer. L'usurpateur Baratheon est mort, l'armée de son frère Stannis a été défaite devant Port-Réal et le souverain Robb se retrouve dépossédé de ses propres terres. Joffrey n'a pourtant participé à aucune bataille. Il doit ces succès au courage de son oncle Tyrion et à la ruse de son grand-père Tywin. C'est un roi velléitaire, lâche et cruel qui s'apprête donc à régner sur les Sept Couronnes.

Le roi Robert Baratheon est mort, son ami Eddard Stark a été exécuté. La dynastie Baratheon n'aura duré qu'une génération et la paix plusieurs fois centenaire qui régissait le royaume des sept couronnes a volé en éclats. Joffrey, le bâtard illégitime, se terre dans sa capitale, les frères de Robert rallient des troupes à leurs bannières, le fils de Ned a levé son armée et crie vengeance, des pirates razzient les côtes et des brigands pillent les campagnes.

Daenerys a eu beau se plier à toutes les exigences du peuple de Meereen, rien n'y fait : la paix précaire risque à tout moment de dégénérer en un siège sanglant. D'autant plus que la jument pâle, cette peste incurable, continue de faire des ravages aux portes de la ville. Yezzan zo Qaggaz, le maître de Tyrion, figure parmi les dernières victimes en date. Le malheur des uns faisant le bonheur des autres, le nain y voit une occasion unique de prendre la poudre d'escampette.

Imagine Camelot but in Gotham: a city where Arthurian knights are the celebrities of the day, riding on motorbikes instead of horses and competing in televised fights for fame and money. Imagine a city where a young, magic-touched bastard astonishes everyone by becoming king - albeit with extreme reluctance - and a girl with a secret past trains to become a knight for the sole purpose of vengeance.

Feu et sang, le roman à l’origine de la série TV originale "House of the Dragon". "Au septième jour, une nuée de corbeaux jaillit des tours de Peyredragon pour propager la parole de lord Aegon aux Sept Couronnes de Westeros. Ils volaient vers les sept rois, vers la Citadelle de Villevieille, vers les seigneurs tant petits que grands. Tous apportaient le même message : à compter de ce jour, il n’y aurait plus à Westeros qu’un roi unique. Ceux qui ploieraient le genou devant Aegon de la maison Targaryen conserveraient terres et titres. Ceux qui prendraient les armes contre lui seraient jetés à bas, humiliés et anéantis."

Clad in armor, with sword and shield at the ready, Holger remains in an enchanted sleep--ever with one eye open--and only to awake should danger ever rise again to threaten his beloved Denmark.

The tales of how the boy Arthur drew the Sword from the Stone, or the love of Lancelot and Guinevere, or how the knights of the Round Table rode out in search of the Holy Grail are known and loved the world over. It all began when an obscure Celtic hero named Arthur stepped on to the stage of history, sometime in the sixth century, and oral tales led to a vast body of stories from which, 900 years later, Thomas Malory wrote the famous Morte D’Arthur. The Great Book of King Arthur presents these well-loved stories for a modern listener.
