In this middle book of Lawhead's Arthurian trilogy, the roots of the familiar story begin to emerge, but they are twined in a slightly different manner than in many other versions. It's an engaging read, but I kept thinking "No, that's not the way it was" -- as if any version of this timeless fiction could be the "right" one!

Evocative and moving, with wonderfully drawn word pictures that give a deeper look into the Arthurian legend. I could hardly put this book down!!!

An incredible telling of the beginning of the Merlin legend. This 2nd book of The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead was as energetic and inspiring as the first, Taliesin. While Taliesin is slightly edged with the lost 'sciences' of Atlantis, Merlin is strongly steeped in mysticism and mythology. Lawhead seamlessly integrates the various stories we all have heard of Merlin into a complex vision of the druid/bard king; incredibly human, divinely touched; passionate, yet passionless. Merlin's tale lays the groundwork for change, change that would reshape the Island of the Mighty, and bring forth the Land of Summer. Highly recommended reading!!
