The End of Magic: An Arthurian Adventure
No Customer Reviews
'Superbly imagined, extremely well-written, and the ending is brilliant.' Dr Sharon Ouditt, Head of English, Media and Creative Cultures, Nottingham Trent University. It is ten years since Arthur banished magic from his kingdom and the Merlin took himself away, leaving government in the hands of mortal men. Only the far west remains untamed, and life is peaceful. As magic withers, Christianity is on the rise, but it too is almost a kind of magic. The prophecy made at Galahad's birth remains as a reminder of former times, and the Grail exercises an ominous fascination over his imagination.The new equilibrium is shattered when Arthur is bewitched, and the knights of the round table must venture into the west, last stronghold of magic. The quest will test the courage and loyalty of all his knights, but especially of young Mordred and Galahad, whose actions will decide the future of Camelot. Who has brought Arthur's realm to the edge of destruction, and what do they hope to gain? And will it be force of arms or something more perplexing that will save Arthur in the end, if indeed he can be saved at all?The End of Magic is an Arthurian adventure, but it is also an exploration of religion, sacrifice and the nature of storytelling itself.
