After Uther Pendragon is killed, Merlyn Britannicus becomes guardian of his infant son Arthur, heir to several British and Hibernian bloodlines and to the ambitions centred on Camulod. Enemies who fear what the child may represent force Merlyn to move beyond the colony and seek allies able to protect Arthur’s inheritance.
The journey exposes Arthur to the competing cultures of post-Roman Britain and deepens Merlyn’s understanding of the kingdom he hopes the boy will one day unite. The novel combines the defence of Camulod with a guardian’s effort to keep Arthur alive, secure Excalibur and prepare for renewed pressure from Saxon settlement and native rivalry.
