As the legendary island of Atlantis faces its final destruction, Prince Charis embarks on an extraordinary journey that ultimately leads to Britain. There he encounters the gifted seer Taliesin, whose wisdom and vision lay the foundation for the age of Arthur. Blending Celtic mythology, history, and Christian themes, Taliesin reimagines the origins of one of history’s greatest legends.
EugeneBookStore Summary
Taliesin launches Stephen R. Lawhead’s beloved Pendragon Cycle, an epic retelling of the Arthurian legend unlike any other. Rather than beginning with Arthur himself, Lawhead traces the legend back to the fall of Atlantis and the birth of Merlin’s world, creating a sweeping saga filled with memorable characters, rich historical detail, Celtic mythology, and spiritual themes. It remains one of the most influential modern retellings of the Arthurian cycle.
Collector Notes
As the first volume of The Pendragon Cycle, Taliesin is the cornerstone of one of the most respected Arthurian fantasy series ever published. Early Avon paperback printings remain popular with collectors and readers alike, particularly those featuring the original cover artwork. Complete matching sets of the series continue to enjoy steady demand.
