Le Morte d'Arthur: Volume 1

A young king rises from humble beginnings in a realm where magic and destiny intertwine. After a secret union orchestrated by the wizard Merlin, the infant Arthur is hidden and raised in the countryside, only to emerge when a mysterious sword lodged in stone proves his right to rule. The moment he draws the blade, the kingdom’s nobles gather, and Arthur is crowned, ushering in an age of hope and new chivalric ideals.

With his newly formed Round Table, Arthur seeks to unite the fractured lands, inviting distant rulers to his court and confronting the first wave of challengers. Early battles test his leadership, while Merlin’s counsel guides him through both triumphs and looming threats. As the king’s reputation spreads, he embarks on quests that promise glory and reveal the perils that lie ahead, setting the stage for the legendary adventures of his noble knights.
