Avalon

In his most powerful fantasy novel yet, Stephen Lawhead takes us into the future. Decadent and reprobate King Edward the Ninth dies and with him the British monarchy is extinguished. A new political order is coming into being. But in Scotland a distant scion of the Stuart line makes an astonishing discovery: that he is Arthur, king of ancient Britain re-born. Claiming a throne is one thing; holding it against an array of powerful forces, even with Merlin at your side, quite another. For the opposition is far more than political. Merlin's is not the only magic to have survived the centuries and Arthur not the only one to have been re-born.
