Is magic dying? In sixth century Britain the new religion Christianity wages war against the Druids and other people of nature, against magic  itself. The persecution of sorcerers is ferocious. Into these violent and dangerous times four children are born – Myrddin, Morrie, Arthur, Gwen. Their destiny is to come together only to be torn apart by love and fear. The kingdom of Caem Lw arises. On its throne are King Arthur and Queen Guinevere who transform a kingdom of aggression and oppression into a realm of prosperity and hope. At their side is Myrddin Emrys, the greatest sorcerer the land has ever known. We know him as Merlin. This is the sweeping epic of the struggle for the survival of magic and the forces of nature against fanaticism and hatred. Of the rise and fall of a king and queen and their realm. Through it all – Merlin. The man. The magician. The myth.

‘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.
