PENDRAGON’S SON
by Kelly Barina
Seventeen-year-old Vael meets his
long-lost brother, Mordred, for the first time, only to discover that they’re
destined to become enemies.
long-lost brother, Mordred, for the first time, only to discover that they’re
destined to become enemies.
After
years with only swords and tomes as companions, Prince Vael finds his first
true friendship with the arrival of his surly half-brother, Mordred—a boy even
more familiar with rejection and loneliness than Vael. However, an ancient
prophecy haunts Mordred’s footsteps―he is destined to kill their father, King
Arthur, in a battle that will destroy Britain. Vael may not believe in fate’s
power, but that means little to the superstitious kingdom that wants his older
brother dead.

When Mordred’s sorceress mother
builds an army against Camelot and plots to use him as her pawn, Vael vows to
show Mordred that destinies can be chosen, even if it means challenging the
fearsome sorceress himself. If Vael cannot free Mordred from the sorceress’
twisted grasp, he will have to watch his father and Camelot fall or kill the
only friend he’s ever had—his brother.
