The Arthurian Survival

The Arthurian Survival

by Carrie Ray

Teen survives Dark Ages Britain using modern hunting and “magical” gear.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Thrown into the brutal “Great Winter” of Dark Ages Britain, 15-year-old Robert discovers that the reality of the era is far grittier than the legends of Camelot suggest. Amidst a landscape of warring warlords and freezing mud, he must rely on his modern hunting and trapping skills just to stay alive. His high-end, stainless steel hunting knife is mistaken by the superstitious locals for a magical blade akin to Excalibur, turning him into a prime target for every desperate knight seeking power.

While navigating this mythic but deadly world, Robert encounters a “Merlin” who is actually a stranded scientist from the future. Together, they must use Robert’s modern survival instincts and the scientist’s fading tech to survive the winter and find a way home. In a final, desperate dash through the snow, Robert reaches the shimmering anomaly and wakes up safely back in his own time.
