MORDRED
“Fate ends in a field. The hills roll along the countryside like waves, their flowers and blades of grass nourished by soldiers’ blood, spilt for reasons few can ever fathom. The sky overhead a deep, ultramarine blue, smattered by clouds torn and pushed by the wind. Nature continues to dance around its locale, and history will eventually forget anything that happened here——these things are beyond fate, outside its purview, unaffected by its rigid prison. What is fate to the wind? What is destiny to a history that will continue long after the dust has settled on the field?”
Once upon a time, the son of King Arthur betrayed his father, pushing his claim and demanding the realm surrender to his rule. There is a fixed point in time, a battle known as the Strife of Camlann, from which this legend descends. The villainous son has had many names through the centuries, but history knows him as the traitorous Sir Mordred.
In this surreal retelling, Grant Piercy explores questions around Camelot’s inevitable fall and the circumstances around its legendary adversary. What drove Sir Mordred to rise in rebellion? Could he have been a better man? How could someone love a villain so reviled of history?
