Description
Everyone knows the story-how Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, how Camelot came to be, and about the power struggles that ultimately destroyed Arthur's dreams. But what of the time before Arthur and the forces that created him?
How did the legend really come to pass?
Before the time of Arthur and his Camelot, Britain was a dark and deadly place, savaged by warring factions of Picts, Celts, and invading Saxons. The Roman citizens who had lived there for generations were suddenly faced with a deadly choice: Should they leave and take up residence in a corrupt Roman world that was utterly foreign, or should they stay and face the madness that would ensue when Britain's last bastion of safety for the civilized, the Roman legions, left?
For two Romans, Publius Varrus and his friend Caius Britannicus, there can be only one answer. They will stay, to preserve what is best of Roman life, and will create a new culture out of the wreckage. In doing so, they will unknowingly plant the seeds of legend-for these two men are Arthur's great-grandfathers, and their actions will shape a nation . . . and forge a sword known as Excalibur.

Histoire
In the pre-dawn hours of August 24th, 1305, in London's Smithfield Prison, the outlaw William Wallace - hero of all the Scots and deadly enemy of King Edward of England - sits awaiting the dawn, when he is to be hanged and then drawn and quartered. This brutal sundering of his body is the revenge of the English. Wallace is visited by a Scottish priest who has come to hear his last confession, a priest who knows Wallace like a brother. Wallace's confession - the tale that follows - is all the more remarkable because it comes from real life.

Good story. Did not enjoy the narrator
I think it must be difficult to narrate a book, but I found this narrators inflections and emphasis’s to be really off and distracting. I think it affects how we interpret characters, and this was off putting.

Enjoyed the book; enjoyed the recording
I really enjoyed this book when I read it years ago. Just finished listening to it now. Enjoyed it again! It’s a great story with very real characters and an interesting explanation for the Arthurian legend!

great book, with great reading.
This is a book that could be dry as all heck, but manages to share the character's passion in a way where you start caring for things like smithing and discussions between soldiers. worth every second.

Historical Fiction Masterclass
Read this, and many others by Jack Whyte in the early 00’s. I was happy to rediscover this series in audiobook format.
The performance is wonderful, as is the story that weaves Arthurian legend into Roman Britain.

terrible narration
I read these books years ago and remember them fondly. I can't get around the narration of these at all.

Thumbs down on all counts.
Unimpressed with plot, too much unnecessary description of weak sexual content and improbable storyline. Became bored with the flat, stilted reading.
