About Book
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 colosseums 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.
Reviews
The foundling Taliesin's special qualities changed the lives of those around him and brought great fortune to his small Celtic settlement in war and peace. Then he met an exiled princess of Atlantis, and in the course of triumph and tradegy they were blessed with a son who would change the destiny of Britain, a boy called Merlin.
