An enchanting tale of love and loss, glory and grandeur, set in the twilight of
Rome's power -- where the Celtic chieftains of Britain battle to save their land
from an onrushing darkness. In this modern classic, Stephen Lawhead presents a
majestic retelling of western literature's most compelling epic. A Druid Prince
-- Singer at the Dawn of the Age. His song would kindle a vision that would burn
forever. Taliesin, oracle of melody. His singing bore the haunting beauty of
another world . . . and the spark of a kingdom yet to come. Charis, Lady of the
Lake -- Driven by the cataclysm that destroyed her home -- the scented groves of
the Isle of Apples, the coliseums of the bull dancers of Atlantis -- she
encountered an uncertain future in a barbarous land . . . and the bard who would
capture her untamed heart. Their love would bridge two worlds. And like golden
threads, their lives would knit the fabric of a timeless legend; that of Merlin
the prophet . . . and Arthur the king. --
