  • "Fifth century Britain lies on the edge of darkness, with the High King, Uther Pendragon, holding together the unruly kingdoms of Britain against the Saxon invaders. But the Pendragon is failing fast, and he has sent into exile the only other man who could hold the warring kingdoms together - Arthur, Merlin's protege and Uther's illegitimate son. One of his spearmen narrates the story of Arthur's return and of his quest for peace."@en
  • "A novel on King Arthur, the legendary 6th Century hero, as he battles the Anglo-Saxons in defense of the Celts. Off the battlefield his sidekick, the magician Merlin, does his best to save Druid gods from invading Christianity."
  • "Book 1 of the Warlord Chronicles."
  • "It takes a remarkable writer to make an old story as fresh and compelling as the first time we heard it. With The Winter King, the first volume of his magnificent Warlord Chronicles, Bernard Cornwell finally turns to the story he was born to write: the mythic saga of King Arthur. The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant. As Arthur fights to keep a flicker of civilization alive in a barbaric world, Bernard Cornwell makes a familiar tale into a legend all over again."@en

  • "Un roman sur la période du haut Moyen-Age et sur la réalité de la guerre et des querelles politiques dans un pays où la religion dispute à la magie l'âme du peuple. Il dépeint Arthur, l'homme plus que la légende, un génie militaire qui, avec une petite troupe de guerriers loyaux, se battit pour maintenir en vie quelques-unes des lueurs de la civilisation dans un monde barbare."
