Book Description
"Intelligent and imaginative...even the magic convinces." -Mary Renault, author of The King Must Die On The Path Toward Greatness, Every Hero Makes a Choice Legends sing of Sir Gawain, one of the most respected warriors of King Arthur's reign and one of the greatest champions of all time. But this is not that story. This is the story of Gwalchmai, middle son of the beautiful, infinitely evil sorceress Morgawse, and gifted student of her dark magical arts. A story of an uncertain man, doubting his ability to follow his elder brother's warrior prowess and seeking to find his own identity by bonding with his frightening and powerful mother. Disappointed in himself and despised by his father, Gwalchmai sets out on a journey that will lead him to the brink of darkness... A tale of loss, redemption, and adventure, Hawk of May brings new depth and understanding to Sir Gawain, the legend of King Arthur, and the impact of choices made-and the consequences that follow. "A welcome new light on the horizon of popular Arthurian legend...delightful...a strong sense of love and mysticism...a ripping adventure tale." -Booklist "Will appeal to those who have enjoyed Tolkien's works." -Library Journal "Compelling...splendid...vibrant...exhilarating...a novel that seduces us into accepting sorcery and sanctity in King Arthur's England." -New York Times Book Review

Book Description
Book 1: Venture into the realm of medieval legend with “The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles and Sir Thomas Malory.” This collection brings together the tales of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the quest for the Holy Grail. Drawing from Sir Thomas Malory's seminal work, the legends transport readers to a world of chivalry, honor, and mythical adventure that has captured imaginations for centuries. Book 2: Experience the poetic brilliance of “Idylls of the King by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson.” Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic cycle of poems retells the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Tennyson weaves a narrative that explores the ideals of chivalry, love, and the inevitable decline of a once-glorious kingdom. With lyrical beauty and profound themes, "Idylls of the King" stands as a poetic tribute to the Arthurian legend. Book 3: Delve into the supernatural and the macabre with “Daemonologie by King of England James I.” James I of England, also known as James VI of Scotland, explores the nature of witchcraft and the occult in this treatise. Written in the form of a dialogue, "Daemonologie" reflects the beliefs and fears surrounding witchcraft during the early 17th century, offering insights into the historical perceptions of the supernatural.

Book Description
“Gracefully interweav[es] Arthurian legend, realistic and magical elements, humor, and heartbreak . . . an engrossing conclusion to a notable series.” —Booklist In this final installment of the Squire’s Tale series, Terence and his fellow Knights of the Round Table must come together in a last stand to save Camelot. The characters Gerald Morris has brought to life throughout his series—Terence and Gawain, Lynet and Gaheris, Luneta and Rhience, Dinadan and Palomides—each have an important role to play in this climactic final conflict. Maintaining their faith, selflessness, and honor, Arthur’s court bands together to try to defeat Morgause and Mordred and banish the dark magic from England forever. “Morris pulls off a spectacular conclusion to his humane and witty Squire’s Tales series as destructive intrigues both provide a backdrop for a fan-pleasing reunion of favorite figures from past episodes and lead up to the final battle between Arthur and his brilliant, hideously warped son Mordred . . . Well done.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The knights’ simplicity, honor, and kitchen-table philosophizing will continue to entrance readers, straight through to the end of this thrilling, elegiac, hope-from-the-ashes saga.” —The Horn Book (starred review) “In this final title in the series, Morris once again makes the adventure, excitement, and magic of King Arthur and his court accessible to every reader . . . An excellent end to a worthwhile and well-written series that can be recommended to reluctant and skilled readers alike.” —School Library Journal
