The Spoils of Annwyn
(2025)(The first book in the Rise of King Arthur series)
A novel by Jason Hamilton
Destiny placed a sword in his hand. He would give anything to put it back.
Arthur Pendragon wants no part of prophecies. Despite pulling the legendary sword Caliburn from the stone three years ago, he lives in the shadows, avoiding the crown that Tynghedau—fate—tries to force upon him. He craves anonymity, content to ride the backroads of Britain with only a loquacious bard for company. But the shadows of the Otherworld are long, and they have found him.When a supernatural green mist rolls off the bay, unleashing hellish hounds upon the innocent, Arthur is forced to draw his blade. But the attack is merely a distraction. In the chaos, the Lord of the Dead has struck at Arthur’s heart, dragging his mother into the Gray Realm of Annwyn.
Now, Arthur must lead a Motley crew—a treacherous king, a mystic priestess of Avalon, and a warrior bard—aboard the ship Prydwen and sail into the afterlife itself. To save his blood, Arthur must brave phosphorescent seas, battle the pale huntress Mallt-y-Nos, and navigate a tower of obsidian nightmares. But his greatest enemy isn't the Lord of the Dead; it is the destiny he runs from.
As the skeletal armies of Arawn rise to claim his soul, Arthur faces a devastating choice. He can remain a free man and watch his family perish, or he can embrace the terrifying power of the Dragon... and become the King he fears he was born to be.
The Spoils of Annwyn is a thrilling epic fantasy with Arthurian themes, perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks, or Terry Brooks.
