Twenty-six years after he seemingly ended The Pendragon Cycle novels, author Stephen R. Lawhead has returned to the legends of King Arthur in a big way.
Not only is this fantasy / historical fiction series being adapted for television by the streaming service DailyWire+, while the first three books — Taliesin, Merlin, and Arthur — have been reissued, but he’s also written a prequel to the series called Aurelia (hardcover, Kindle).
In the following email interview, Lawhead talks about what makes The Pendragon Cycle different from other stories about King Arthur, as well as whether you should begin with the new novel or go back to it later.
