The King’s Cavalry
By Paul Bannister
King Arthur, Britain’s triumphant ruler, is turning his cavalry into the finest war horses the world has ever known. Though he is a pagan at heart, he has embraced the new Christian religion in the hope of uniting his country under one faith and one cause. Yet, when he receives a summons from Constantine, the Emperor of Rome, he is worried that the traditional Gods have abandoned him for publicly announcing his Christian beliefs. The Emperor appears to want peace. But Arthur killed Constantine’s father, and he is wary that this summons might be his own death warrant. With Constantine growing ever more threatening, Arthur’s time is running out. And the two mighty warriors must face each other head to head to determine who has undisputed mastery of land.
The King’s Cavalry is the thrilling follow up to Paul Bannister’s best-selling Forgotten Emperor series, following the British ruler as he attempts to lay siege on Rome. It is perfect for fans of fans of Conn Iggulden, Ben Kane, and Simon Scarrow.
