Description

Leader Arthur and his bumbling magician Merlin in an alternate universe are nothing like their counterparts on our Earth. The Arthur in this story is club footed, venal and pretty much evil to the core. Merlin is a man of power still, but that power is like a person who loads his plate with food, only to find his 'eyes are bigger than his belly' in this case it means that things Merlin conjures up he learns his power over them is not near what he thought it would be. The tale is told through the friends Mael, an Irishman and a former highly skilled personal guard to an Irish king and Starkad, a Dane who is huge and strong by anyone's standards. The pair have more battle experience and victories that have kept them alive while their enemies usually don't get to experience that. Reading this book will also introduce you to Lancelot, a roman who is about 20 cards short of a deck and is a sadist, and Mael's girlfriend, who also happens to be a beautiful and very powerful witch. Another great read by Master Author David Drake.
