Bookroo's summary

Camelot stands on the brink of ruin as Mordred, Arthur's ambitious son, plots to seize the throne. With whispers of betrayal and forbidden love swirling, the legendary Round Table faces its greatest test. As tensions rise, the fate of Arthur's realm hinges on a final, desperate battle on the desolate plains of Camlann. Will loyalty and honor triumph over treachery, or will Mordred's dark ambitions shatter the legacy of Camelot forever? Dive into a tale of courage, betrayal, and the enduring struggle for power in a legendary kingdom.

From the publisher

After years of Arthur’s fair rule, evil has come to Camelot. Mordred, Arthur’s illegitimate son, is determined to destroy the Round Table and gain the throne for himself. He will use whatever tools he can - mutiny, force, even the rumors of love between Lancelot and Queen Guenever. In the end, there is only one place for the battle to be lost or won: the bleak plain of Camlann, where Arthur and his knights of the Round Table fight for their lives.
