More about the book

The adventures of King Arthur are recounted, focusing on his relationships with both allies and enemies. Among his allies is the noble King Ban of Benwick, who faces a dire threat from King Claudas of Scotland. Claudas assembles a massive army to besiege the Castle of Trible, the strongest fortress in King Ban's realm. Within the castle, King Ban is fortified with his knights, his Queen Helen, and their youngest son, Launcelot. Launcelot, cherished by Queen Helen for his extraordinary beauty and a unique birthmark resembling a golden star, is seen as a beacon of hope for their house. The Queen believes that this star signifies Launcelot’s future greatness and glory, a prophecy she unknowingly sets in motion. Despite King Ban's confidence in the castle's defenses, Claudas's overwhelming forces begin to turn the tide of battle. As the siege intensifies, the situation grows increasingly desperate for King Ban and his loyal followers, who face the daunting challenge of defending their stronghold against a relentless enemy.
