The first book in the Pendragon’s Banner Trilogy, The Kingmaking is a retelling of the Arthur legend – but a gritty, realistic one looking at the chaos and jostling for power after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the fifth century. Arthur is a young boy, revealed as the new Pendragon. He must serve a hard apprenticeship under his enemy if he is to succeed. Gwenhwyfar is his childhood sweetheart who finds herself a political pawn in a deadly struggle.
