About this listen

The bestselling action adventure series from Peter Gibbons! Must-listen for fans of Bernard Cornwell

Dark Age Britain. A legendary hero rises to unite a divided and threatened land...

A country left in ruins after the fall of the Roman Empire is plundered and broken. Saxon hordes have invaded and conquered the East coast of Britain in a blood-soaked Great War which tore the old kingdoms apart. From Bernicia to Kent, land and kingdoms are now under Saxon rule. But these new conquerors want more…

Britain's remaining kingdoms are jaded by the constant threat of war, their Kings old, alliances fickle and frayed. It seems Britain must fall enslaved to the brutal and marauding conquerors from across the sea.

But no one counted on a new and fearsome warlord. A warrior granted power by the druid Merlin through the mighty sword Excalibur. A man with no Kingdom but a quest to unite the country and fight back against the baying Saxon warriors? He is known as the legendary Arthur.

The sword has the power of Britain in its steel, men will follow and fight for whoever wields it...

The compelling, fast-paced start of a series from bestselling writer Peter Gibbons.©2024 Peter Gibbons (P)2024 Boldwood Books

Whilst I wait for Mancour to churn out a new book, I searched for something to listen to. Being a veteran Arthur enthusiast (Lawhead, Hollick, Cornwell etc) I accidentally happened upon Excalibur! I was hooked from the first 5 minutes. I was once again dropped into a Britain struggling with waves of foreign invaders and striving to retain their identity against all odds,repelling the foreigners .I love Sean’s performances from the other books he has bought life. I am going straight into the next book! Nice one Pete!

My search is over.

I was unsure at the start, but by the gods this man was born to write historical sword and action! He sells it with absolute belief, if you loved Cornwells trilogy and are looking for a less mythical, more edge of the seat read this is it! Soooo good.

The new Bernard Cornwell!!!!

really good version of arthurian legend, with one problem after guenivier rescue. whole chunk missing of Arthur becoming a man from a teen.
this doesn't take away from book, as action and characters are very good, and I'm a saxon.

Great twist on Arthurian tale

Who cares, this is a superb story of Arthur and his legend in possibly the most realistic telling and by that I mean the violence of war and the mistaken myth of honour, excellently narrated

Historically accurate?
