    About this ebook

    As foretold by legend, Arthur has risen from the grave to save Britain—but what can a warrior of the Dark Ages do to halt Hitler's march into England?

    It's May of 1940, and World War II is raging across Europe. Having already defeated Poland, Luxembourg, and Denmark, the Germans prepare to crush the British Army near Dunkirk.

    When Bleddyn Kendrick, a Welsh physician about to begin his military service, is called into the Cambridge Recruitment Office, he expects trouble. What he gets, instead, seems like an outlandish fairy tale.

    A man claiming to be Gaius Ambrosius Artorius has emerged from a long-forgotten burial mound at an RAF base in central England. He speaks no English, seems to think he's the one and only Arthur of legend, and, by all stretches of the imagination, is likely delusional. So why is the military so invested in hearing him out?

    That's where Bleddyn and Sophie Edwardson, a classics scholar with astounding command over Latin, come in. Their task? To accurately translate the ramblings of this supposed Arthur.

    But even if he is telling the truth, and he's the prophesied hero meant to save England from utter devastation, how is he supposed to help them?

    Can one man deliver the miracle England needs to halt the mechanised Nazi war machine?

    The Cyclone's Eye is the first book in the Artorius series and is an intriguing, action-packed alternative history novel that combines the well-trod path of Arthurian fantasy with the devastating conflicts of World War II.
