Camulod Chronicles Book 8 - Clothar the Frank

In Clothar the Frank, the first novel of a two-book miniseries called The
Golden Eagle, best-selling author Jack Whyte invites us to explore his cast of
fascinating characters during the reign and tragic downfall of the Riothamus
Arthur, High King of All Britain. From Gaul, now the land of the Franks, comes
young Clothar, the son of one king and the nephew of another. He has just
survived a fierce civil war in Benwick, the land of his childhood—a war
involving his own family, pitting brother against brother—to discover that his
fate is not in his own hands. Instead it rests with his teacher and mentor, the
renowned and powerful Bishop Germanus; Germanus’s old friend, the elusive and
enigmatic Caius Merlyn Britannicus; and Merlyn’s young ward, the future king,
Arthur Pendragon. Clothar's story is the story of Lancelot—his past, his loves,
his loyalty and his role as King Arthur’s friend and betrayer.
