From the author of the Kingmaker series comes an epic and intimate tale of adventure, myth and the creation of one of literature's greatest stories.
Warwick, 1468. One drowsy summer afternoon, Sir Thomas Malory – politician, courtier, outlaw, renowned author of Le Morte D'Arthur – is seized from his garden and dragged to Newgate Prison for reasons unknown.
Shivering in his foul-smelling, filthy old cell, Malory mourns his misspent life as he awaits the execution bell. But when the locking bar lifts, he is greeted by a boy of about 12 winters: the gaoler's son. Giddy with relief, Malory seizes the opportunity to recount his deeds to an audience.
So begins a prison confession of a perilously exciting life full of sieges, battles and court intrigue. A Good Deliverance is the captivating tale of a man at odds with his past and the events that inspired him to write the first great work of prose fiction in English.
'A major achievement in historical fiction.' (on Kingdom Come)
Historia Magazine
'The series is historical novel writing at its best, blending real and fictional characters into a dark and entertaining epic of authentic history and thrilling adventure ...' (on the Kingmaker series)
Lancashire Post
'As brilliantly written as its predecessors, with rich and meticulous description that transports you back to a time when life was far crueller than today.' (on Kingdom Come)
