Our take
When legends fade and kingdoms fall, survival becomes an act of defiance. Arthur follows Beran, an aging mercenary tasked with killing a boy whose bloodline could restore Britain, only to choose protection over profit.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Years have passed since the clash of shield-walls echoed across the land . . .
The Saxons are now the lords of Britain. And yet the bards still sing of Arthur - 'In our darkest time, when we need him most, shall he come again.'
Ageing mercenary Beran has no love of bards' songs. Nor of people. Unless they are paying him to steal or kill. Now he has been ordered to murder a boy. But this is no ordinary child. The son of King Constantine and the grandson of High King Ambrosius, this boy could be the saviour of Britain . . . if he lives.
Betraying his companions and returning to a world he believed he'd forsaken, Beran vows to take the boy to the one place that still holds out against the invader: Camelot.
Hunted by Saxons, Queen Morgana and those he deceived, he will seek the help of Guivret, called the Little King, and the Saracen, Palamedes who once rode beneath Arthur's banner. They will meet the doomed lovers, Tristan and Isolde. And they will fight for their lives and for each other.
For if there's to be any hope for Britain, Beran must deliver the boy to Camelot. And to do that, he must come to terms with his past . . .
Arthur is the breathtaking new novel from the author of the bestselling Lancelot, hailed 'a masterpiece' by Conn Iggulden.
Antonia Senior in The Times said:
'Superb . . . authentic and terrifying . . . fans of Bernard Cornwell’s Winter King trilogy will devour this and conclude that Kristian has surpassed the Master.'

Our take
Silo 42 thrives where others conform, defying the Pact’s rigid rules. But Silo 1 is watching, and its leader sees 42’s success as a threat.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Silo 42 is thriving in a way it was never meant to. In a world of 50 isolated silos, each believing they are humanity’s last hope, conformity to the Pact—the original plan set by the builders—is absolute. But Silo 42 has rewritten the rules, embracing creativity, freedom, and innovation, allowing its people to flourish.
Donald Keene, Head of Silo 1, sees this anomaly as a threat. The data from Silo 42 shows they are either thriving or dangerously destabilizing, and neither is acceptable. His solution? Enforce the Pact, even if it means wiping Silo 42 off the grid.
Ahotay Lathrop, Silo 42’s leader, knows their survival depends on outsmarting Silo 1. Can they defy the Pact and secure the future for 10,000 lives—or will conformity crush them?
