The Silurian, Book 2: The King of Battles

Book excerpt: The Silurian, Book 2: THE KING OF BATTLES: AN INVINCIBLE COMMADER ARISES Arthur is now Supreme Commander of Armies in Britannia and just about to begin his annihilating South Saxon campaign, leading his army, now known as the Clan Bear, into the south coast weald where the Saxons have made inroads into British territory. On this campaign, Arthur and his young warrior army destroy the Saxons in battle after battle, a ruthless campaign of fire and superior tactics that pushes the Clan Bear to their limits, pushing the Fox into days of battle-madness and wild anguish as he fights and kills in a relentless need to be Arthur's greatest warrior and champion. And yet it is Medraut, Arthur's cousin, who is pushed too hard and too far, as now, traitors sworn to Medraut's side begin to arise from within the ranks of Arthur's army--traitors too small to threaten Arthur's power now. Still unassailable in his rise, the legend of Arthur as an invincible warrior has already begun, and he breaks the Saxons, and returns home victorious; but not without payment to be had. In the aftermath of battle, it is time for the Bear to return to his land of birth, to Siluria, and there seek out the last living souls of his mother's people; those who survive from their battles against Arthur's father, Uthyr Pendragon. Yet going home causes even more troubles for both Arthur and Bedwyr to overcome, troubles that charge the two young warriors into the sinister hearts of traitors, whose rebellion forces the Fox and the Bear to become more than warriors, but killers.
