Soon after King Arthur died, Merlin found another home to take the remaining knights and their families. It was a world similar to Earth but possessed no metals which could kill or maim. Animals and beings from other times lived there: unicorns, mammoths, Elaven & harrimen lived alongside jachawks and jaclets in perfect peace with the human latecomers. But the humans eventually brought forth a leader who lusted after metal and urged his followers to discover any place it may exist. Their resultant search in the mountains where Merlin's soul resided disturbed him, forcing him to send out a message over the ley lines to any of his descendants for help. Francis Steel and others of his kin responded, entering a world unlike anything they could imagine but not knowing what for or why or how to return home. Merlin's Kin includes a discussion guide for academic classes, book clubs, journaling, or self-reflection.

Get your copy of Dragon Kin today! __ Praise for Dragon Kin I've read so many books about King Arthur, from Morte d'Arthur to scholarly theses on the true origin of King Arthur. This series is without a doubt the BEST!!! Every book I read by Tracy Cooper-Posey is like an intricate puzzle piece. It’s beautiful and unique on its own, but when you study it from different angles you find out it’s just a piece of the bigger picture and this author gets the pieces to click into place in the most interesting and unpredictable ways. I love that I learn new things from reading one of Cooper-Posey’s books while at the same time experience action, adventure and romance...and not that stupid love-at-first-sight-everything-works-out-the-way-we-want romance, either. She writes earthy, emotionally charged, realistic love stories. ABSOLUTELY beautiful story! The characters are so well written, you feel like you are in the middle of their world, interacting with them on a personal level! OMG. I love this story, it's a grand classic of historical romance. Oh how I'd love to see this as a movie. Tracy just nailed it once again. I loved this one so much! I spent the entire book telling myself to slow down and savor the tale and also not being able to put the book down. What a great book! It’s not a short book, but reads like one. The dialogue moves the plot, the action moves the plot, even the narrative does not waste a single word. I read the book twice because I liked it so much. This is a wonderful book! OMG, I didn’t want this one to end (3000 pages might’ve been enough). I haven’t stopped thinking about this book since i finished it last week-wondering what else might have gone on in their lives. Any time my husband was trying to get my attention while reading this novel I told him, "I can't help it. I'm over a 1,000 years away falling in love with a king and making friends with the Lady of the Lake!" This series puts Tracy Cooper Posey up there with the great Arthurian writers like Stewart and Bradley. Her vivid descriptions and historical snippets add so much to an already great story that I could not put it down.

Soon, she’s discovering a whole magical world she had no clue existed, all hidden in plain sight. And that lightning she summoned? Even among paranormals, that’s not normal. Turns out Kaylee is a dragon-kin, a half dragon/half human with the incredibly rare power to summon storms. As if that weren’t trouble enough, her newly discovered magic has attracted the wrong kind of attention: Slayers, a murderous ancient order dedicated to eradicating all dragon-kin. They’re planning something big. Something deadly. And they’re going to use Kaylee to do it. Dragon’s Awakening is the first book in the complete YA fantasy Heir of Dragons series. If you like snarky, fast-paced fantasies full of dragon shifters, awakened elemental magic, mystery, and a slow-burn romance, this series is for you!

This book is an attempt to tell some of the stories of King Arthur and his Knights in a way which will be interesting to every boy and girl who loves adventures. Although tales of these old British heroes have been published before in a form intended for young people, it is believed that they have never been related quite in the same spirit nor from the same point of view; and it is hoped that the book will fill a place hitherto vacant in the hearts of all boys and girls. No doubt many of you, my young readers, have at some time or another taken down the Morte D'Arthur from your father's bookshelves and read a few pages of it here and there. But I doubt if any of you have ever gone very far in the volume. You found generally, I think, that it was written in a puzzling, old-fashioned language, that though it spoke of many interesting things, and seemed that it ought to be well worth reading, yet somehow it was tedious and dry.

This trilogy establishes a provenance for the Holy Grail and, through the figure of Merlin, links Joseph of Arimathea with mythical British history and with the knightly adventures of Perceval's Grail quest. It is hard to overstate the importance of this trilogy of prose romances in the development of the legend of the Holy Grail and in the evolution of Arthurian literature as a whole. They give a crucial new impetus to the story of the Grail by establishing a provenance for the sacred vessel - and for the Round Table itself - in the Biblical past; and through the controlling figure of Merlin they link the story of Joseph of Arimathea with the mythical Britishhistory of Vortigern and Utherpendragon, the birth of Arthur, and the sword in the stone, and then with the knightly adventures of Perceval's Grail quest and the betrayal and death of Arthur, creating the very first Arthurian cycle. Ambitious, original and complete in its conception, this trilogy - translated here for the first time - is a finely paced, vigorous piece of storytelling that provides an outstanding example of the essentially oral nature of early prose. NIGEL BRYANT is head of drama at Marlborough College. He has also provided editions in English of the anonymous thirteenth-century romance Perlesvaus, published as The High Book of the Grail, and Chretien's Perceval: The Story of the Grail.

Bernard Cornwell's internationally bestselling King Arthur Trilogy tells the mythic saga of King Arthur and is the work of a magnificent storyteller at the height of his powers. THE WINTER KING The novel is set in Dark Age Britain in a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant. ENEMY OF GOD Having defeated the last holdouts of civil war in southern Britain, Arthur has secured Mordred's throne. But he must still face raging conflicts between the old ways and the new, as well as foes more powerful and more dangerous--because they pose as friends. EXCALIBUR The unforgettable tale of Arthur's final struggles against the Saxons and his last attempts to triumph over a ruined marriage and ravaged dreams as forces both earthly and unearthly threaten everything Arthur stands for. Peopled by princesses and bards, by warriors and magicians, Excalibur is the story of love, war, loyalty, and betrayal.
