"Reminiscent of C. S. Lewis . . . Highly recommended." -Library JournalA magnificent epic of cataclysmic upheaval and heroic love in a breathless age of mythic wondersIt was a time of legend, when the last shadows of the mighty Roman conqueror faded from the captured Isle of Britain. While, across a vast sea, bloody war shattered a peace that had flourished for two thousand years in the doomed kingdom of Atlantis.From the award-winning author of THE DRAGON KING TRILOGY comes a majestic tale of breathtaking scope and haunting beauty. It is the remarkable adventure of Charis-the courageous princess from Atlantis who escapes the terrible devastation of her land-and of the fabled seer and druid prince Taliesin, singer at the dawn of the age. A story of an incomparable love that joins two astonishing worlds amid the fires of chaos, and spawns the miracles of Merlin . . . and Arthur the king!
