Uther by Jack Whyte

Set in a vividly imagined post-Roman Britain, this novel follows Uther Pendragon’s rise from war-leader to would-be king as he battles Saxon incursions, forges uneasy alliances, and makes the moral and political compromises necessary to hold a fractured land together. Along the way he confronts betrayal, passion, and the burdens of fatherhood while contending with enigmatic figures who blur the line between myth and pragmatic politics, offering a gritty, historically grounded retelling of the origins of the Arthurian world.
