It is said that long before the Dark Age king of the Britons called Arthur was ever heard of, his golden reign was prophesied, and after decades of invasion and civil violence had wracked post-Roman Britain, his presaged leadership was a rare promise of future peace.

Events leading to that time, some of them full of hope, more often full of sacrifice, inevitably began to fall into place When the mysterious druid Myrddin Emrys, known in legend as Merlin the Enchanter, is certain the high king is in imminent danger of yet another assassination attempt, he summons iron-willed spy and master of disguise Marcus ap Iorwerth to unearth the conspirators and destroy their plots. Marcus reluctantly agrees to help after his wife Claerwen, driven by her otherworldly gift of visions, insists that she must accompany him on the quest.
It is soon discovered that Pascentius, the youngest son of an earlier and well-hated king, is allied with dreaded Saxon mercenaries and readily poised to reclaim his father's throne. But before Marcus and Claerwen can spoil his plans, a second conspiracy of personal revenge closes in on them. Falsely declared fugitives by the very ones they had sought to help, they become trapped in a labyrinthine intrigue between their accusers and the traitors. In a desperate race against time, they must endure hardship and profound personal loss, while pushing Britain towards freedom, peace and the future called Arthur.

Jun 22, Daniel Laleman added it. The novel also introduces us to more familiar characters from Arthurian legend: Marcus and his wife are also trying to recover the various treasures of Macsen, ancient relics believed to confer onto their owner the rightful ruler ship over Britain. Now he has to save Uther from a similar assassination attempt, even though Uther believes that Marcus is the killer. Can Marcus fulfil his duty to the Celtic crown and prevent the Saxons from regaining control of Britain?
Also, who is this redheaded woman, Daracha, and the mysterious Iron Hawk? What is the importance of the boy Sinnoch and Lord Engres, along with his daughter Drysi? These are some of the question the reader may be asking him or herself, the answers to which may only be found by reading the novel to the end. I enjoyed how the novel was authentic to the Celtic names of people and places, and how the imagery placed the reader into to these times of Britain after the fall of Roman occupation.
The author used many different resources written about the time period as research for her novel Guler Bibliography I also liked the description of how Marcus used disguise to help him in his quest to try to save Uther, even though Uther was trying to arrest him because he thought Marcus had murdered his brother.
The best disguise, in my opinion, was when he portrayed his wife as the exiled noblewoman Lady Riona from Iwerddon Eireann , and himself as her seneschal Faolan. The love between Marcus and Clarwen was also rich and exciting, as Marcus would often have to rescue his beloved Clarwen and Clarwen would often free her husband when he was arrested by both their enemies and those they were trying to protect.
Overall, I found the novel very realistic based on our knowledge of the time period, and used much of the historical elements know known about the legend of King Arthur. For instance, the use of the name Ambrosis, which has often been found in historical records from the time and is believed to be associated with Arthur. I would recommend this book to anyone who is fascinated with this time period and the use of authentic Celtic names, as I am.

This is the second book in a series based on the King Arthur legends. It takes place in the days before King Arthur, and the main characters are a spy and his wife. They are enlisted by Merlin to foil a plot to have the high king assassinated, but it ends up going wrong. I enjoyed this book a little more than the first one as it seems more closely tied in with the King Arthur legends. The romance between the two main characters felt more natural, and the plot flowed more evenly. I was annoyed at This is the second book in a series based on the King Arthur legends.
I was annoyed at times with particular phrasings the author used, and one of the major plot twists was so obvious I'm pretty sure I yelled, "come on! Jan 08, Carol rated it it was amazing Shelves: Even though I partially knew the ending because I have read the fourth book, the ending was still powerful with great emotionally charged writing.
