“You’re wrong, Mordred,” the king bellowed, the tip of his shining sword resting against his enemy’s throat, “You’ve always been wrong. Honor, forgiveness, and compassion are not signs of failure or weakness; rather, such acts of love should be the standards against which true strength is measured. Selfishness is easy. Hatred is easy. But mercy? Hope? A man sacrificing his pride or even his life on behalf of another? There is nothing more powerful in this world or the next.”
It’s not often that a written work contains so many elements of humanity coupled with other worldly spirituality. This story encompasses every emotion, taking the reader through in-depth character development, the joy and struggles of relationship, the growth and bond of friendship, the love of king and country, the battle between good and evil, between friend and foe, the seen and the unseen, and within oneself. The imagery and allegories woven into the fabric of the story often left me breathless or brought me to tears.
Camelot Fallen has taken the story of King Arthur, his knights, and his queen and rendered a far more complete telling, while incorporating the elements of forgiveness and redemption. I was moved beyond words. Now, back to page one!
