Plot
The story is set in 411 AD, one year after the legions of Rome withdrew from the Isle of Britannia. Pendragon is the story of young Artos who is raised to believe that God has a purpose for his life. After a tragic event resulting in the burning of his village by a saxon attack , the death of his father, and the disappearance of his little sister Adria, he is taken into slavery by the Saxons, where Artos begins to question his God. He soon manages to escape from the Saxons and is nursed back to health by a Roman outcast named Lailoken. When he fully recovers, Artos travels to a Celtic fortress hidden in the Welsh mountains where he becomes a great warrior under King Ambrosius. Advancing through the military ranks, Artos begins to understand that his father's vision was not based on the strength of man, but on the plan of God. However, his success causes one of Ambrosius's men, his pagan Captain of the Guard Caydern, to become jealous of Artos's rapid rise to power in the military. Using a secret guard that he created several years ago, Caydern is able to murder Ambrosius, and to frame the assassination on Artos. While on trial, Artos escapes from the court and elude Caydern's elite guard. Further events force Artos to decide between following God's plan unto certain death or abandoning God to save himself.
