The first part in an epic sequel to M.K. Hume's King Arthur trilogy The legend of King Arthur lives on...

Trained in the skills of a warrior, Arthur cannot challenge the position of his ruler and childhood friend, but nor can he stand back and watch Briton crumble under the threat of invasion. As the Last Dragon, he must ensure that his father's legacy lives on...
