Book Synopsis



"The historical details become the ingredients in the alchemist's recipe, and Swope is a credible alchemist. All the characters we expect from Arthurian lore are here in all their glory. Swope then works his own magic, crafting a saga that is an enjoyable read, faithful to its historical roots." -Karen K. Brees, author of Crosswind

Dark Age Monarch: Uther Pendragon blends Arthurian legend, historical fact, and elements of fantasy to re-imagine the landscape of Britain under siege following the exodus of the Roman Empire in 410 CE. A prequel to the best-selling Dark Age Monarch: The Reign of King Arthur, this work traces the chaotic 5th Century British landscape of shifting political loyalties and multiple enemies. Following the stable leadership of his father, Uther Pendragon grasps control of Britain and leads an unprecedented offensive against his foes.

Uther's brutal nature, however, does not go unnoticed. Single-minded with little compassion for those who oppose him, the king leaves an indelible mark across Britain. Uther battles the Angles, Saxons, and other invaders with brutality and conviction. But Uther makes as many enemies as allies and loyalties become fractured throughout his reign. Uther also wins Igraine, and together produce the king's lasting legacy: his only child, Arthur, destined to lead the Britons to a legendary Golden Age.
