Brave Medraut is a fitting heir to the throne—but he can never be
king—in this fantasy retelling of the legend of Mordred from the
author of Code Name Verity. Medraut is the eldest son of High King
Artos, and would-be heir to the British throne—if not for an
unfortunate circumstance of birth. Instead, his weak and unskilled
half-brother, Lleu, is chosen as successor. Medraut cannot bear the
thought of being ruled by the boy who has taken what he believes is
rightfully his. Consumed by jealousy, he turns to Morgause, the
high king’s treacherous sister, who exploits Medraut’s shame and
plots to take over the throne. But when Medraut discovers Lleu’s
inner strength and goodness, he finds his battle is not just with the
kingdom, but with the demons inside himself. Now he must choose where
his allegiances truly lie. Perfect for readers of Robin McKinley
and Jane Yolen, The Winter Prince is an “engrossing” novel that
“fantasy lovers and devotees of Arthurian legends will enjoy,”
from an author who has won honors ranging from the Carnegie Medal to
the Edgar Award (Booklist). This ebook features an illustrated
biography of Elizabeth Wein including rare images from the author’s
personal collection.
