Enemy of God by Bernard Cronwell

In volume two of The Warlord Chronicles, Cornwell presents a gripping tale of Arthur and Merlin, as well as other familiar personalities of Arthurian legend. Pigott-Smith's gravelly voice reflects the character of the grizzled veteran of Arthur's retinue who writes these tales and reminiscences for future generations and for Queen Igraine. The bloodcurdling adventures, intrigue and wars are brought to life by Pigott-Smith, who captures the flavor and fabled personalities of this time before written history.
