DESCRIPTION:
And the man who would sire the King of the Britons.From the trials of boyhood to the new cloak of adult responsibility, we see Uther with fresh eyes. Uther is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything that has been available to readers before.. With Uther, Jack Whyte, author of the richly praised Camulod Chronicles, has given us a portrait of Uther Pendragon, Merlyn's shadow--his boyhood companion and closest friend.

For those new to the series, Uther can stand alone as an entry to the story, but it might be best to start with The Skystone, where Whyte's tale truly begins. With Uther, Whyte is at his best--he takes his time telling the story and allows his main characters to be both flawed and heroic. Along the way, Uther loses his friendship with Merlyn and falls in love wit
