Arthur Pendragon has not drawn Excalibur in eleven years. He is fifty-six, tired of certainty, and finished pretending that the sword still belongs to him. So he loads it onto a donkey and rides alone into the mountains of Snowdonia to return it to the water.
He does not expect anyone to be waiting for him there.
Returning Excalibur is a quiet, weighted story about a king at the end of his legend — and the two ageless Watchers who have been holding the high places of Britannia for decades, maintaining a binding the world knows nothing about and watching the thread of Arthur’s kingdom move in ways he never knew existed. When he arrives at their cave, they reveal something he has carried his whole life without being able to name it.
For readers of Stephen Lawhead and historical fiction with deep spiritual roots.
