At the dawn of his reign, a young king confronts his destiny--and must
prove his greatness . . . or lose a realm
Arthur is King--but treachery runs rampant throughout the beleaguered
Isle of the Mighty. Darkest evil descends upon Britain's shores in many
guises. Fragile alliances fray and tear, threatening all the noble liege
has won with his wisdom and his blood. His most trusted counselor--the
warrior, bard and kingmaker whom legend will name Merlin--is himself to
be tested on a mystical journey back through his own extraordinary past.
So in a black time of plague and pestilence, it is Arthur who must stand
alone against a great and terrible adversary. For only this way can he
truly win immortality--and the name to treasure above all others:

"Though Lawhead brilliantly creates an authentic and vivid Arthurian
Britain, he never forsakes the sense of wonder that has graced the
legend throughout the ages."--Publishers Weekly
