Arthurian Fiction

This is a book of short stories and poetry of medieval themes, especially the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons. There is a delightful story called "The Owl, the Witch, and the Wizard" featuring the wizard Merlin. There is also a major new Arthurian poem concerning Excalibur, with a very surprising new twist upon the old story that brings Guinevere into the forefront as an equal of King Arthur. There are poems of heroes and knights, warriors and kings in the heroic age, a lot of it based upon the viking sagas, as well as new poems about King Alfred the Great.

The House of Arthur, the Red Dragon, is championed by the great king’s grandson, young Prince Stephen, and his love, the beautiful Lady Gabriella. The House of Saxnôt, the White Dragon, supremely dominates Britannia, ruled by an ancient pagan aristocracy, the avowed enemies of King Arthur’s heirs.

Ethan and his companions are recovering from the Tomb of Pendragon, but a new adventure calls. They have found an ancient journal belonging to the legendary wizard, Merlin, and it has directions to the ancient city. But dangers lurk on the road to Camelot, and possibly in Camelot itself. Before they know it, Ethan and his friends are swept into an adventure that may unveil untold secrets - or release untold evil.

Ethan and his companions have returned to Hawkshead, but all is not well. Something is scaring away the animals in the area and wreaking havoc on the village’s food supply. The villagers call on Ethan and his friends to find the problem and deal with it. All clues lead the group to the old abandoned mine and the tomb which the former mayor uncovered. What sort of magic or monster could scare away the animals, and what traps may still lurk in the tomb's darkness?

Still having questions about the new world he's been dropped into, Ethan has more pressing concerns figuring out who or what is killing the wizards. Unfortunately, the only source of those answers seems to be the members-only library of the Order of the Scroll. Of course, he can join and read all the books he wants - but there's a catch. The custodians of the library first want him to retrieve some lost tomes from an abandoned library in a ruined city. Seems simple, right? Not a chance. Did they forget to mention that no one who's entered the library has ever returned?
