Book one in the M/M romance series The Arthur Quartet by Harper Fox.

Once upon a time, there was a winter that wouldn't end. And all that stands between the people of White Meadows and starvation is a young man called Lance.

Lance is 16 years old, and for all his courage and hunting skills, he's running out of fight. His family has been wiped out in a border raid, and he's drowning in loneliness. When strangers arrive at White Meadows, all Lance can think of is using his last strength to drive them away. But these men have come in peace, not to burn and destroy. Among them is a hot-headed, utterly charming prince-in-training named Arthur.

For Lance, Arthur's arrival is like the return of the sun. The prince has everything - learning, battle skills, a splendid destiny. But as the days unfold in the remote northern settlement in the shadow of Hadrian's Wall, it soon becomes clear that Arthur needs Lance, too.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it ended too soon. Obviously well researched, good character development.

Great historical romance!

I have always adored Harper Fox’s prose. This has a similar feel to Song of Achilles in that it’s a retelling of an archetypal story. It’s so well done with just enough magic to make it more magical realism than fantasy to me.

Great narration and story

Harper Fox does not disappoint. EVER! This lore a of different Arthurian telling is so rich from moment to moment and incredibly bittersweet. Can't wait for the continuation.

Excellent as is Excalibur!

3 Star, This was a good book, I had a good time and will look for more from

The beginning was a bit confusing, though. I felt like I was lost for a moment. But overall, the story was really good. The plot was engaging, and the narration was excellent. I think this is a really cool reimagining of the King Arthur story. I’m not sure if I’ll keep reading the series, though.

Fantastic retelling of the King Arthur story
