The Story of Arthur Pendragon and the Arthurian Empire
The Arthurian Legend has long fascinated me and unlike most I personally do believe it is largely true, Magical creatures and all. What I aim to do is tell the history of the Arthurian Empire, from its rise under Arthur to its decline and fall in 683 AD. To do this I've spent the last eight years reading through the legends and histories of the 6th and 7th centuries trying to piece together what I believe really happened. The result of my research is this series, the Arthurian Age. My biggest goal besides telling history as I believe it occurred, is to tell entertaining stories so, that being said, I hope anyone who reads this series comes away with a fun reading experience, whether or not you agree with my research or beliefs regarding the Arthurian legend.
