"The Skystone" is a historical fiction novel written by Jack Whyte, which was first published in 1992. The story revolves around a Roman Officer called Publius Varrus, who is an expert blacksmith as well as a soldier. In the early fifth Century, amid the violent struggles between the people of Britain and the invading Saxons, Picts and Scots, he and his former General, Caius Britannicus, forge the government and military system that will become known as the Round Table, and initiate a chain of events that will lead to the coronation of the High King we know as Arthur.
