Foundation of the Dragon: Books 5-7
(2026)(A book in the Foundation of the Dragon series)
An omnibus of novels by Robb Pritchard
For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, and M.K. Hume.
A kingdom won in blood. A king who kept every oath. A legend that cost him everything.
Rome left Britain to the wolves. One man made them kneel.
Spanning nearly thirty years, from the fields of Badon to the mud of Camlann, this blood-dark omnibus is the final chapter of the Foundation of the Dragon saga. It is the Arthurian legend stripped of magic and given back its teeth. Here is the rise of the Bear, the round table that cracked before it was cold, and the last, terrible bill for the price of peace.
Book 5: Son of the Storm (AD 468). The Saxons are no longer raiding Britain. They are settling it, one valley at a time. Vortigern is dead, but his shadow isn't. Then the son of Ambrosius arrives, exiled and hardened, carrying his father's unfinished war like a blade across his back. Owain, the finest warrior the Britons have left, has heard the prophecy all his life: the Bear will come, and Britain will not fall. He never thought it meant him. But before he can face the Saxons at Badon, he must survive his own bloodline.
Book 6: The Price of Peace (AD 468). After Badon, the feast. After the feast, the knife. Britain is unified and the Saxons are broken. In the old amphitheatre at Caerleon, a round table stands at the heart of the feast, every seat equal, the kingdom Owain means to build made solid in oak. It will not last the night. A cousin with an army seals the doors before the torches burn down, and while Medraut calls in the northern oaths, Owain learns the hardest lesson of kingship: to hold Britain together, he may have to break the very people he swore to protect.
Book 7: Valour's End (AD 495). Seven years of peace. Seven years of building. Then a blood oath drags Owain Pen Draco across the sea to a king he cannot save. The Saxons move the moment his ships clear the horizon. Medraut returns with a claim to the sword at Owain's hip, and it is not treachery, it is law. Gwen, left to hold a fracturing kingdom, makes the only alliance left to her. Camlann becomes inevitable. The oath that built a kingdom becomes the one that breaks it.
Three novels. One king. One battle that history could never forget.
Told entirely from the British side of the sword. The side history forgot.
Honour is not a virtue. It is a weapon, and it cuts the man who holds it deepest.
Genre: Historical
