From its humble beginnings in Celtic folklore to its enduring popularity in modern times, the story of King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table has inspired countless works of art, literature, and film.

Now, acclaimed fantasy author Bernard Cornwell returns to the Arthurian legend with his highly anticipated novel, Excalibur Rising Two: An Arthurian Saga. The second installment in the Excalibur Rising series, this epic tale follows the continuing adventures of Arthur and his companions as they face new challenges and threats in a world on the brink of chaos.

A Return to the World of Arthur

Along the way, Arthur and his companions encounter a cast of unforgettable characters, both allies and enemies. There is Lancelot, the valiant knight who is torn between his loyalty to Arthur and his love for Guinevere; Mordred, the treacherous knight who will one day betray Arthur and bring about his downfall; and Morgan le Fay, the powerful enchantress who seeks to use Arthur's power for her own evil purposes.
