The spellbinding story of Merlin's rise to power. Vivid,
enthralling, absolutely first-class - Daily Mail So begins the
story of Merlin, born the illegitimate son of a Welsh princess in
fifth century Britain, a world ravaged by war. Small and neglected,
with his mother unwilling to reveal his father's identity, Merlin
must disguise his intelligence - and hide his occasional ability to
know things before they happen - in order to keep himself safe.
While exploring the countryside near his home, Merlin stumbles
across a cave filled with books and papers and hiding a room lined
with crystals. It is the home of Galapas, who becomes Merlin's
tutor and friend, and who teaches Merlin to understand the world
around him... and to harness the power of the crystal cave to see
the future. Merlin will rise to power and enter history - and
legend - as advisor to King Arthur. But all stories must begin
somewhere. And this is his. The Crystal Cave is the first of Mary
Stewart's brilliant Arthurian Saga, telling the story of King
Arthur from the perspective of the extraordinary, mysterious
Merlin.
