Synopsis
Mordred, Bastard Son is a 260 page Arthurian fantasy novel first published in 2006 and written by the award-winning authur Douglas Clegg. It is book one of the Mordred Trilogy. The summary by Alyson Books reads as follows: Conceived in violence... Born from royalty... Raised in exile. "My mother, Morgan le Fay, was called the Witch-Queen, and my father, Arthur, King of the Britons. Merlin taught me the Sacred Arts. And my lover was the greatest of knights... I was born bastard and prince, and hidden from the world as I came to manhood, but I will return to claim my throne" In this brilliant reimagining of the legends of King Arthur, a young monk becomes enthralled by the story that a wounded mysterious prisoner in his care begins to tell. That prisoner is Mordred, the traditional villain of Arthurian legend, and his story is one of ambition, power, and betrayal. "I came into this life during the Beltane Fires" he states, "and I was born to the caverns of the Lady of the Lake, and learned of life in the ancient forest of Broceliande." Mordred emerges as a heroic and romantic figure, torn between his powerful mother's desire for revenge against Arthur, his own conflicted feelings toward the father who betrayed him, and his passionate love affair with a knight in King Arthur's court. From his birth into his youth, Mordred's soul is forged by the great forces of the Arthurian world - and of the shadow-legend of a father who has sought the death of his only son. The first book in an epic series, Mordred, Bastard Son, sets the stage for a grand adventure of love, friendship, magick^ war, and triumph. In the hands of Bram Stoker Award-winning author Douglas Clegg, here is a fresh and dazzling chapter in the Arthurian canon.
