Born on Christmas Eve, Arthur Pendragon is the illegitimate son of
the married duchess Ygraine and Uther Pendragon, brother of a great
king: a union Merlin arranged. But Arthur's birth is not welcomed
by everyone: his father demands he be hidden until a legitimate son
can be born, and Merlin is forced to give the babe to his own
childhood nurse for safekeeping and go into hiding. In a dream,
Merlin learns of a sword of unparalleled beauty and extraordinary
craftsmanship, hidden in a long-deserted Roman temple. Merlin
retrieves the sword and hides it in a cave on an island in the
centre of a lake, where it remains for years. But what is hidden
must be revealed. For it is foretold that the irrepressible young
man named Arthur will find a sword and claim his birthright: as
heir to Uther Pendragon and king of the Britons.
