Aurther is King by right of drawing the sword Caliburn from the stone. Now he plunges into fierce warfare against the Saxon enemy, fighting to achieve the 'small miracle' of unity and independence that Britain alone attained among the dependencies of crumbling Roman Empire. Merlin the King's adviser whom men call ' enchanter', is once again the narrator of Mary Stewart's third magnificent and haunting novel of Dark Age Britian. He is present at only one of Arthur's twelve great battles, for his story tell of a different kind of warfare against more subtle and dangerous enemies. Of these the chief is Morgause, rose-gold witch and half-sister to Arthur, whom once she snared incestuously to her bed. She bears a son, Mordred, who will be the most dangerous foe of all. Merlin's story begins with the desperate and bloody attempt to find and murder the child. It fails, and one by one his other prophecies are realised: in the passion and grief of Arthur's marriages, in his betrayal by friends and kinfolk, and in Merlin's own short-lived love.
