Synopsis
Arthur follows the cosmic enchantment of A. A. Attanasio's The Dragon and the Unicorn into even more dazzling realms of magic and heroic action. Against a brilliantly drawn backdrop of Britain after the collapse of the Roman Empire, a land fought over by warring Celts and Saxons and supernatural forces of titanic power, the timeless story of Britain's legendary warrior-king takes on powerful, passionate new life.
