命運是天定，又或可被改變？
亞瑟王的故事是眾所周知的，然而，誰是莫德雷德(Mordred)呢？
這個歷史中的傳奇人物，他不僅僅是亞瑟王的兒子，
更是謀殺了亞瑟王的人！
莫德雷德(Mordred)呢？這個歷史中的傳奇人物，他不僅僅是亞瑟王的兒子，更是謀殺了亞瑟王的人。
在一開始，莫德雷德的生命原不是他自己的。偉大的梅林巫師這麼預言：真正的君主--亞瑟王，將死在自己的兒子手裡，在亞瑟王宮殿中的每一個人--包括莫德雷德自己都知道這件事。
莫德雷德所能做的僅是與命運抗衡：試圖改變父親及自己的命運。經由作者Springer《我是莫德雷德：來自亞瑟王宮廷的故事》全新的詮釋，將令你深深自拔，不能自已。(SL)

“I am Mordred is a lyrical and powerful summation of Springer’s literary obsessions with parentlessness, identity and the fight to do good in a world that makes this a hardly obtainable option. It is perhaps, her finest novel to debate.”(“《我是莫德雷德：來自亞瑟王宮廷的故事》是一本書寫書情且強大的綜合體，其中囊括了本書作者Springer在文學上的一種執著，無父無母的孤兒情節、自我身分認同，以及為了讓世界變得更好的期許而戰—即使這並不是一個容易達到的目標…。 這或許是Springer最值得被人拿來探討的一本小說。”)
Reviews:
Grade 5-8ATold in the first person, this is an involving and moving story. Mordred, the bad seed, the son of King Arthur and his sister, spends his youth learning who he is and then trying to deal with the prophecy made by Merlin that he will kill his father. Springer portrays Mordred as a troubled child who is plagued by his feelings of love and hate for Arthur. As a teenager, he seeks Camelot and tries to earn his father’s recognition and acceptance, but eventually flees in a turmoil of emotion. The sorceress Nyneve tries to help him to fight his fate. She cannot protect him from Merlin, however, who forces Mordred to look at a vision of the future. Distraught, Mordred begs Arthur to hold in safe keeping his very soul. Unfortunately, Merlin steals it and ensures an unhappy ending. By focusing on Mordred’s dilemma of being caught in a situation not of his own making, Springer portrays the tension in Mordred between wanting to do good and the fear that he cannot fight his fate. A thoughtful youngster, he is particularly distressed by the beheadings and acts of vengeance around him. Although many of the characters have magical abilities, they are portrayed as real human beings. This dichotomy increases the tension: good and evil are seen in terms both human and magical; Mordred is able to chose to be one or the other but his choices can also be thwarted by magic. A complex, necessarily slow-moving novel that will reward serious readers.AWendy D. Caldiero, New York Public Library---From School Library Journal
In a starred review, PW wrote, "Springer reworks Arthuriana to craft an original tale resonant with archetypal themes of love, loss, betrayal and reconciliation." Ages 12-up. (Jan.)---From Publishers Weekly
