Hello, everyone!
My name is Rick Sutherland.
I am excited to announce that I have published my first novel, with more on the way! I've loved King Arthur and everything surrounding Arthurian legend since I was a child, and I finally decided late last year that it was time to sit down and write the version of the story I always wanted to read.
The Breaking of Albion is my attempt to do something different with Arthurian myth. Familiar names, new ideas and a story that addresses what happens when the legend isn't perfect.
"A king forged by deed and destiny. A god, broken by his own mercy. A kingdom on the edge of ruin.
Arthur Pendragon and Tenebrys are thrown together by ancient pacts neither of them chose nor desire. Side by side, they fight battles both physical and emotional as their lives are torn apart around them.
Meanwhile, Ivyre—a powerful goddess with her eyes on Albion—moves to remake the kingdom at a cost too terrible to imagine.
Two men shaped by sacrifice. One kingdom that cannot afford to lose either.. One kingdom that cannot afford for either of them to fail. The Breaking of Albion is the first chapter of an epic that asks not whether a legend can survive—but whether the man inside it can."
