This is the third episode of The Broken Kingdom, a new Arthurian fantasy novel, which is delivered in small sections of 70 pages or so (about 20,000 words) as an eBook only. Episodes One and Two are available, and should be read before this one. There will probably be five episodes in all. The action takes place in a post-Roman Britain in which the various British kingdoms are almost constantly at war with each other. Saxons and other Germanic tribes, driven by climate change, are flooding into the eastern part of the island looking for land, and a terrifying dragon Cythraul, has been awoken from a deep slumber in the frozen North and threatens to destroy all humanity. Arthur ap Uthur, a brave young British warrior, is struggling to unite the British kingdoms against their common enemies, with the aid of Merlin the Sorcerer. But can he face up to the evil of the Wormkind who infest his beautiful land? And will the rivalries and hatreds of The Broken Kingdom tear all his good work apart? This episodic novel, by the author of the Outlaw Chronicles, would be perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell.
