“I have seen a land shining with goodness, where each man protects his brother's dignity as readily as his own, where war and want have ceased and all races live under the same law of love and honour. I have seen a land bright with truth, where a man's word is his pledge and falsehood is banished, where children sleep safe in their mother's arms and never know fear or pain. I have seen a land where kings extend their hands in justice rather than reach for the sword; where mercy, kindness, and compassion flow like deep water over the land, and men revere virtue, revere truth, revere beauty, above comfort, pleasure or selfish gain. A land where peace reigns in the hill, and love like a fire from every hearth; where the True God is worshipped and his ways acclaimed by all.” ArthurArthurianPendragonStephen Lawhead Book:Arthur Source: Arthur
“Arthur, with his keen blue eyes and hair of burnished gold, his ready smile and guileless countenance. Wide and heavy of shoulder, long of limb, he towers above other men and, though he does not yet know the power of his stature, he is aware that smaller men become uneasy near him. He is handsomely knit in all; fair to look upon.” KnowsMenLooksLongDoeEyeReadyHairFairsGoldBlueHeavyWideShouldersTowersLimbsBlue EyesCountenanceArthurUneasyStature Author:Stephen R. Lawhead
“Arthur’s fingers tighten on the silver-braided hilt: see how naturally it fits his hand! He pulls. The Sword of Britain slides from its stone sheath. The ease with which this is accomplished shines in the wonder in Arthur’s eyes. He truly cannot believe what he has done. Nor can he comprehend what it means.” BelieveMeanDoneHandsEyeWonderFitStonesShiningFingersEaseAccomplishedBritainSilverSlidesArthur Author:Stephen R. Lawhead
“Yet, there was once a king worthy of that name. That king was Arthur. It is paramount disgrace of this evil generation that the name of that great king is no longer spoken aloud except in derision. Arthur! He was the fairest flower of our race, Cymry's most noble son, Lord of the Summer Realm, Pendragon of Britain. He wore God's favour like a purple robe. Hear then, if you will, the tale of a true king.” IfsEvilNamesRaceLordGenerationsSonFlowerKingsSummerWorthyNobleTalesRealmsBritainFavourPurpleDisgraceRobesArthurParamountDerisionPendragon Author:Stephen R.

“The Queen of Air and Darkness tilted back her head and laughed. A more ghastly sound I hope never to hear. ‘Do you think I care about these trifles?’ ‘Murder is no trifle, woman,’ Arthur said. ‘No? How many men have you killed, Great King? How many have you slain without cause? How many did you cut down that you might have spared? How many died because you in your battle-rage would not heed their pleas for mercy?’ The High King opened his mouth to speak, but could make no answer.” ThinkingMenSaidMightCareSpeakCausesSoundAnswersDarknessCuttingAirKingsBattleMouthsMercyMurderDiedRageQueensLaughedI CareTriflesHeedArthurGhastly Author:Stephen R.
