Second book in the epic Arthurian fantasy from Stephen Lawhead telling Merlin’s story. Seer, bard, sage, warrior... Merlin's destiny is to prepare the way for the momentous event that will unite the Island of the Mighty: the coming of a king who will usher in the Kingdom of Summer. First published in 1988 it is great to see this epic adventure given a fresh lease of life for a new audience.
Having brought the two worlds of Atlantis and Celtic Britain together in Book I, the author now focuses on Merlin. In this second book, Merlin tells his own story - and his vision - the vision of the Kingdom of Summer, ruled by the Summer Lord. It is a story of love and passion, triumph and tragedy, with itw own special and powerful 'magic'. The saving of the infant Arthur, and the setting of the sword in the stone form both the climax to this book and the entry to the story of Arthur himself.
Stephen Lawhead is the internationally acclaimed author of many outstanding fantasy and science fiction novels, including The Song of Albion trilogy, and the Pendragon series. Stephen lives in Oxford with his wife Alice. They have two grown up sons.
