The Camulod Chronicles is a 9-book historical fiction series by Jack Whyte that reimagines the legend of King Arthur in post-Roman Britain. Published in the UK as A Dream of Eagles, the series takes a grounded, realistic approach to the Arthurian story, removing the magic and replacing it with Roman military tactics, political intrigue, and the struggle to maintain civilization after Rome’s withdrawal.
The saga begins with Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus, two Romano-British men who establish a fortified colony called Camulod as the Roman Empire crumbles. Across several generations, their descendants build the community that will eventually produce Arthur, here portrayed not as a mythical king but as a war leader shaped by the harsh realities of Dark Age Britain.
Whyte spent years researching the historical period, and his attention to detail shows in the depictions of Roman-era weaponry, metalwork, and military organization. The series covers events from roughly the 4th century through Arthur’s rise, with each book focused on a different generation or key figure in Camulod’s history.
