The Arthor series reimagines the legends of King Arthur across four novels published between 1994 and 1999. Beginning with The Dragon and the Unicorn, A.A. Attanasio takes the familiar Arthurian cast and places them within a framework that mixes Celtic myth, Christian symbolism, and cosmic forces.

Each volume focuses on a different aspect of the legend. The Eagle and the Sword and The Wolf and the Crown follow Arthur’s rise, while The Serpent and the Grail deals with the quest for the Holy Grail. Attanasio’s prose is more ornate than most Arthurian fantasy, and the series appeals to readers who enjoy mythological fiction with philosophical depth.
