King Arthur: Dragon’s Child introduces M.K. Hume's second trilogy, picking up where her Merlin series ended. This is the legend of Artorex, the man destined to be King Arthur. Merlin had secret the evil Uther Pendragon's new-born son. Hume’s Arthurian fantasy tells a compelling story of the child, now known as Artorex as he grows from boyhood into manhood. He is trained for leadership and a future unknown to him. Britain is torn apart as Uther lies dying and Artorex struggles to vanquish the Saxons and unite Britain. To succeed, he needs the weapon destined to be worn by the High King of the Britons and which the embittered Uther has hidden. “As in her previous trilogy, the author, an Arthurian academic, adds perceived authenticity to her tales by incorporating true-to-life details surrounding the difficult, hardscrabble lives of those who survived in the late fifth and early sixth centuries” (Kirkus Reviews).
