The Pendragon Cycle
''The Pendragon Cycle'' is a series of historical fantasy books based on the Arthurian legend, written by Stephen R. Lawhead. The Cycle was originally "The Pendragon Trilogy", but after ''Arthurs rather abrupt ending, and the existence of many unexplored stories and plotlines, Lawhead decided to expand on his trilogy by writing additional books. ''Avalon'' is not considered to be a true member of the Cycle, but rather a 'related semi-sequel' to it.
==Overview==
The series is a work of fiction that takes place in the 5th and 6th centuries and attempts to present the Arthurian legends in a historical setting while presenting the story with a reality the reader can connect with. Lawhead bases his stories on the ''Mabinogion'', the ''History of the Kings of Britain'' and other works of Geoffrey of Monmouth, the writings of Taliesin, Gildas, and Nennius, and several other legends that he manages to interweave into the Arthurian legend.
The books, with the exception of ''Taliesin'' and ''Avalon'', are narrated in the first-person, and, except for ''Pendragon'', ''Grail'', and ''Avalon'', are each split into three sections (''Pendragon'' has four, ''Grail'' one, and ''Avalon'' five). ''Merlin'' and ''Pendragon'' are narrated by Myrddin (Merlin). The first third of ''Arthur'' is narrated by Pelleas, the second by Bedwyr (Bedivere), and the third by Aneirin/Gildas. ''Grail'' is mostly narrated by Gwalchavad (Galahad), with a short narration by Morgian (Morgan le Fay) at the beginning of most chapters. ''Taliesin'' follows Taliesin and Charis (the Lady of the Lake), alternating in each chapter; ''Avalon'' mostly follows James Stuart (the reborn Arthur), Merlin, and the fictional Prime Minister Thomas Waring.
