Clothar the Frank is a 2003 historical fiction novel by Canadian writer Jack Whyte. [1] It continues his Arthurian Cycle as told in A Dream of Eagles series of novels (called The Camulod Chronicles outside of Canada). Outside of Canada, the novel is titled The Lance Thrower, [2] and is edited differently from the Canadian version.
The novel is the first in a two-part continuation after the events in A Dream Of Eagles. The story is narrated by Clothar (Lancelot) and describes his early life in Roman Gaul, his education in Auxerre with Bishop Germanus, his participation in a civil war and his travels to Britain where he meets Caius Merlyn Britaniccus (Merlin) and King Arthur for the first time.[ citation needed ]
