A Fragile Peace

After forming a truce with Constantine, the Emperor of Rome, King Arthur of Britain feels confident in his newly established rule. His people are united under his banner, the pagan and the Christian living together as one in his lands, and there seems to be nothing left to do but celebrate his triumph. But a storm is brewing, both within the kingdom and outside it. A terrible plague spreads through the land, killing thousands and weakening Arthur’s army. And a rival warlord is gaining power, inciting those on Britain’s borders to mount an attack. Can Arthur rally enough men to his side to stop the threat of war? Or will his fragile peace be shattered? ‘A Fragile Peace’ is the fifth book in Paul Bannister’s best-selling ‘Arthur Britannicus’ series, chronicling the life of King Arthur in ancient Britain. It is perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow. ‘I enjoyed A Fragile Peace for several reasons: its ability to bring this historical period alive in all its splendour and brutality, its pace and its successful handling of the first person narrative.’ - Helen McCabe, author of ‘The Price of Beauty’. 'A thrilling story which weaves together both history and legend.' - Richard Foreman, best-selling author of the Swords of Rome series.
