Enemy of God: A Novel of Arthur (Warlord Chronicles)

Product Information

All through Israel’s history, the people of God contended with enemies committed to their destruction. As Arthur had once fought for Tristan against Owain, Derfel and Culhwch try to fight for Tristan but are immobilized by Mark's spearmen.

An improvement in every single way upon the first in the series, and one of the best historical fiction books I have ever read. Merlin, who lost his hall at Ynys Wydryn the night the Cauldron was stolen and now lives at Lindinis, expresses the belief that a demon got into the boy king the night of his birth, while the Christians tended to him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.He recreates these characters and stories as they were before they got embellished and whitewashed, or as Arthur says, “Before we paid the bards to make our squalid victories into great triumphs, and sometimes we even believe the lies they sing to us. The usual suspects, greed, power, sex, revenge and religion, keep getting in the way of Arthur's aspirations of becoming a farmer.

Overall a very good read but a few minor flaws making it lose a little rating overall but looking forward to the finale and how things come together.Sin sets us against God: “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior” (Colossians 1:21).

No point in jumping the gun as there is one more novel to go so let's hope for a great finale and move past how it ended. They defeat the Christians, but afterward Derfel decides to travel south separately from Arthur to find his mother, whom he has not seen since she was captured in a raid when he was very young. Para que isso não aconteça, Merlin empreende uma busca por um caldeirão mágico que tem tudo para dar errado, pois o território a ser desbravado é controlado por inimigos sedentos por sangue. It is the picture of two nations who are in opposition to one another and have therefore engaged in a military conflict.But the treasures will also set Briton against Briton – especially as Guinevere, now Arthur’s wife, wants to make a magic of her own.
