Beran, an ageing mercenary who trusts no one unless they’re paying, faces an unthinkable task: killing a boy. But not just any boy—the heir to Britain’s fractured throne. A son of kings, this child could be the salvation of a land crumbling under Saxon rule.
Beran’s cold resolve falters. Betraying his ruthless companions, he sets out on a dangerous journey to Camelot, the last stronghold of hope. Hunted by the invaders, a vengeful Queen Morgana, and former allies, Beran must seek help from unlikely companions: a wily Little King, a Saracen knight, and a pair of doomed lovers.
Time is running out. To save the boy, Beran must confront his own dark past. Will he redeem himself—or doom Britain forever?
