However, on the cusp of a united peaceful Britain, Arthur's decision to marry Guinevere plunges the island into war again. After being banished to Armorica by his father, the High King Uther Pendragon, Arthur returns to protect the new king, his infant nephew Mordred. A former warrior sworn to Arthur and now an elderly monk, Derfel tells the story of how Arthur became a warlord in Dark Age Britain despite illegitimacy to the throne. The novel is divided into five parts narrated by the protagonist, Derfel Cadarn. The book is based on characters and plot elements from Arthurian myth, but considerably changed and re-worked. The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur is the first novel of the Warlord Chronicles trilogy by Bernard Cornwell, originally published in the UK in 1995 by Penguin Group.
