The Dark Trinity Chronicles (Paperback)

Paperback. The king has come home with a living blade at his side - and a kingdom quietly coming apart behind the gates.Arthur returns to Camelot bearing Excalibur and a hard-won steadiness, only to find the realm he left has spent his absence turning on itself. His queen carries a child too swiftly for nature to explain - a curse, the lower town mutters; a miracle, the king chooses to believe. He clears his champion of a sin that never happened, embraces the impossible pregnancy as grace, and lets himself hope. Hope, this season, is the most dangerous thing in Camelot.Beneath the rejoicing, the cracks run deep. A maid lies dead with the wrong wound, and the man who made it has learned how little the dark costs the second time. For the first time in living memory the outer wall is breached, and the realm discovers it can bleed. And far to the northeast, inside a fortress of patient predators, a watcher who has hidden in plain sight for eleven years finally reads the whole shape of the thing being done to Camelot - and learns that some truths can only be carried out at the price of the one who carries them.Faith against fear.
