Novel Notions

Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.

It’s been a while. But today, it’s time for another cover reveal! Today’s cover reveal is for one of my most anticipated historical fiction novels. If you have been following my blog and channel, you will know I LOVE Lancelot and Camelot by Giles Kristian. Lancelot is one of my favorite standalone books, and Camelot is a great spin-off sequel to it. Well, today I will be revealing the cover art of the third and final book in The Arthurian Tales trilogy by Giles Kristian: Arthur.  Taking place several years after the end of Camelot, I undoubtedly look forward to reading this standalone sequel to it. Without further ado, here’s the beautiful cover reveal of Arthur!

Pre-order HERE!

Years have passed since the clash of shieldwalls echoed across the land. The Saxons are now the lords of Britain. And yet the bards still sing of Arthur – ‘In our darkest time, when we need him most, shall he come again.’

Yet old Beran has no love of bards’ songs. Nor of people, unless they are paying him to steal or kill. He is a mercenary, in the employ of the cutthroat Nabor ap Nabor, and he has been ordered to murder a boy fleeing a burning city. No ordinary boy either. No, this boy is the son of King Constantine and the grandson of High King Ambrosius. And he could be the hope of Britain . . . if he lives.

Betraying his companions and returning to a world he thought he had left forever, Beran gives his word that he will take the boy to the one place that still holds out against the Saxons: Camelot.

Crossing a hostile land, they will meet the runaway lovers, Tristan and Isolde. They will seek the help of Guivret, called the Little King, and the Saracen, Palamedes, who once rode beneath Arthur’s banner.

Hunted by Saxons, Nabor ap Nabor, and Queen Morgana, this unlikely band must fight for their lives and for each other. For if there’s to be any hope for Britain, Beran must deliver the boy to Camelot. But to do that, he must also face his own past . . .

A hawk, a wolf, and now a bear. How about that?

I want to give my special thanks to Giles Kristian for allowing Novel Notions the honor and pleasure of hosting the cover reveal for Arthur. As fantasy and sci-fi enthusiasts, and self-proclaimed connoisseurs of book cover art, it means a lot for me and all of us here at Novel Notions to be given this opportunity.

Lastly, thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this post!
