Synopsis:
This novel covers the time from when Arthur Pendragon was conceived to when he was crowned a king.
In this version, Merlin’s father is Aurelius Ambrosius, the Roman war leader, Uther Pendragon’s brother, making Merlin Arthur’s cousin. Merlin is depicted as twenty-two years old at the beginning of the book, which opens on the morning after the conception of Arthur. This conception has taken place as a result, not of illusion or shape-changing as in the legends (and as Merlin would like people to believe), but of ordinary human disguise and misdirection. Duchess Ygraine is said to have known who she was mating with and whose son she bears from the moment Uther came to her. Merlin goes into hiding, to avoid trouble. He learns that Uther wishes the child to be hidden, until another (legitimate) son is born.
