The Eagle and the Sword

The Eagle and the Sword (Arthor, #2)The Eagle and the Sword by A.A. Attanasio

From the Goodreads website:

""The Dragon and the Unicorn" has been hailed as one of the ten best fantasy novels of 1995. Now A. A. Attanasio offers an equally stunning sequel--a rich, mythical epic in the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" that reaches straight into the heart of the Arthurian legend. He is Pendragon's son, the Eagle of Thor, destined to lead the doomed Celts against the Saxon invaders. Wielding his Roman sword "Short Life, " he marches into battle to claim the glory of Camelot. But the powerful wizard Merlin sees the senseless death on young Arthor's hands. Endless murder will bathe Camelot in blood, unless Arthor can recapture the majesty that is his destiny and pull the mighty Excalibur from the star-stone at Creation's radiant heart."

I loved this book.  It is so different from other Arthurian legends I have read.  Looking for more by this author.
