Hear the voice of a young warrior; hear him speak with power and suffering of his life with his foster-brother, Arthur; a boy who would one day become Imperator of Britain, Artorius Rex.
Set in the Dark Ages of Post-Roman Britain, The Silurian is the story of King Arthur told in a way that has never been done before. A first person narrative spoken in grim and honest detail of the lives of Arthur and his closest friend and foster-brother, Prince Bedwyr The Fox. And it is Bedwyr who tells the story of his life with Arthur, and of his own struggles to know this powerful friend of his. A boy of sixteen, taken to his first great conflict, Bedwyr begins his story on the battlefield where Arthur lies missing after having won his first engagement to war against the invading Saxons, Hengist and Horsa. This is the Fifth Century AD, a time of fierce honesty, as Bedwyr's own words speak it, the words of a young warrior who lives his life in the blood, guts, turmoil and love of an age that was both brutal and brilliant.
