On the third day of Christmas, Abaddon Books gave to me... a potent combination of Arthurian and
Roman legend that had me filled with glee. King Arthur needs some help as the
Romans raise an army, and he calls for support from Sir Lucan, the Black Wolf
of the North. But Lucan’s got lady trouble, his wife left him for a Roman
moron, and soul trouble, when the Penharrow Worm taints his blood. His squire,
Alaric, tries to look out for Lucan, but his
mother, a sorceress, is looking out for him, and that involves stopping Lucan
with every demon she can call. Reach into your heritage this Christmas, travel
back to pagan past, and celebrate the Yuletide with Lucan and the rest of the
cast.
Dark North, Malory’s Knights of Albion | Paul Finch
£7.99, ISBN: 978-1-907992-88-9
A stunning new Dark
Fantasy with untold stories of King Arthur’s Knights and Camelot.
As the restored Roman Empire raises an army against him,
King Arthur calls his supporters from every corner of the British Isles. Sir
Lucan – the Black Wolf of the North – has more reason than most to join the
campaign: his beautiful wife, Trelawna, has run off with the handsome, cultured
Roman offi cer, Rufio, scion of the corrupt, powerful Malconi clan.
Lucan’s squire, Alaric, fears for his overlord’s soul after
his battle with the Penharrow Worm taints his blood; but is more afraid still
for the safety of Lady Trelawna, whom he has always loved from a distance.
Meanwhile, Rufio’s mother, the sorceress Zalmyra, sees it as her motherly duty
to stop Lucan, with every demonic force she can summon…
