After being set adrift at sea, baby Mordred is found by fisher folk who raise him as their own. One day, a beautiful, magical lady appears to carry him back to his birth-mother’s cold castle. There, alone but for his faithful dog, he comes of age and learns the horrible truth about his identity. Everyone knows Mordred as the dark, evil son who kills the noble King Arthur. But what would it be like to be born as Mordred, an unwanted child with a dreadful destiny?
This imaginative and beautifully told fantasy tale, rich with Arthurian lore, lets you finally hear Mordred’s side of the age-old story. Nancy Springer is an award-winning author who has published over 30 critically-acclaimed books.
