Beskrivning

‘Tantum religio potuit suadere malrum!‘ Only religion can lead to such evil. Such is Merlin’s anguished cry as he witnesses the destruction of Jerusalem. The year is 1099.As Merlin’s past life interweaves with this one and people from that life mix with new ones, his mission emerges: to accompany Wilda to the Holy Land to protect her from the many dangers of the war that is known in our times as the First Crusade. He is forced to return for the Second Crusade. And the third. He loves the people he is protecting. He hates the wars and the religions that cause them. And the men of the church want him dead.

Merlin is unvillingly part of the Crusades
I'll have to admit that I didn't love this book as much as the first one, "The Nature of Things". The only reason for this is that I'm not so fond of the time for the Crusades, whereas I love the legend of Arthur and Camelot, which we read about in the first book. But Merlin is in both books and he's a fascinating character, although he's very grumpy in this story. 😉 Without diminishing anyone's beliefs I truly like Merlin's view of religion. He's got a good foundation for his allegations about religion being destructive in many ways, and I think it was even more evident during the time of the Crusades. It's remarkable that Merlin's magic is believed to come from Satan and is strictly forbidden, whilst those men of the Church who possess magic has been given it from God to use as they see fit... *hypocrites* 🙄 I'm looking forward to reading the third book, where Merlin will be back to protect Elizabeth I!
