Mordred's Curse — Ian McDowell

ALL HAIL ARTHUR--GREAT CHAMPION, SOVEREIGN LIEGE...ROYAL PAIN

The child of Morgawse, witch-sister to the King, Mordred desired nothing more than to stand proudly at Arthur's side. Possessed of Roman learning and skilled in Pictish magic, Mordred shunned the scholarly path to practice with pike, sword, and bow, in preparation for the day he might enter his Uncle's service--and take his rightful place as loyal Knight of Camelot.

A cursed bastard--the reviled, unwitting symbol of an Uncle/Father's unholy transgression--glory is not to be Mordred's lot. Instead, spurned and spat upon by his mighty adored King, Mordred must suffer--as devotion is cruelly transformed by betrayal into pain and bitterness...and hatred.

Now the tale is truly told--of ties more binding than those of love...and of a destiny greater, and baser, than ever before imagined.
