J. Whyte / Paperback / 2003
In Clothar the Frank. the first novel of a two-book miniseries called The Golden Eagle, Jack Whyte invites us to explore his cast of fascinating characters during the reign and tragic downfall of the Riothamus Arthur; High King of All Britian. From Gaul, now the land of the Franks, comes young Clothar, the son of one king and the newphew of another. He has just survived a fierce civil war in Benwick, the land of his childhood --- a war involving his own family, pitting brother against brother --- to discover that his fate is not in his own hands. Instead it rests with his teacher and mentor, the renowned the powerful Bishop Germanus; Germanus's old friend, the elusive and enigmatic Caius Merlyn Britannicus; and Merlyn's young ward, the future king, Arthur Pendragon. Clothar's story is the story of Lancelot --- his past, his loves, his loyalty and his role as King Arthur's friend and betrayer.
