The Fort at River's Bend
''The Fort at River's Bend'' is a 1997 historical novel by Canadian novelist Jack Whyte. Originally part of a single book, ''The Sorcerer'', it was split for publishing purposes. The book encompasses the beginning of Arthur's education at a long abandoned Roman fort, where he is taught most of the skills needed to rule, and fight for, the people of Britain. The novel is part of The Camulod Chronicles, a series of books which devise the context in which the Arthurian legend could have been placed had it been historically founded.
==Publication history==
Originally part of "an 1100-page monster called ''The Sorcerer,''" Jack Whyte's Canadian publishers split the text for ease of publication into two books labeled, ''The Sorcerer Volume 1—The Fort At River’s Bend'', and ''The Sorcerer Volume 2—Metamorphosis.'' However when the book was imported to the United States, the publisher couldn't handle the split and labeled the books ''The Fort At River's Bend'' and ''The Sorcerer- Metamorphisis'', because of this many of the American readers actually think they are two separate books. However, the incomplete nature of the plots, and Jack Whyte's original intentions, make them inapproachable without reading them together. Jack Whyte think this is an effect of "foolish" marketers, and openly criticizes this move by the publishers.〔http://www.camulod.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=38〕 However, as expressed in an interview, the books, though they were only released three months apart, saw a considerable decline in sales because people were unaware that the two books were really one volume.〔http://januarymagazine.com/profiles/jwhyte.html〕
