The Flame burns bright. But will it be enough? In a Britain fractured by Roman decay and the creeping shadow of Saxon invasion, High King Uther Pendragon is the only man strong enough to unite the land. But at the Feast of the Pendragon, his gaze falls on Igraine, Duchess of Cornwall-the one woman he cannot have, and the only one he now desires. Uther's all-consuming obsession plunges the kingdom into a devastating civil war, forcing him to abandon his duty for his desire. To end the bloodshed, the wizard Merlin strikes a terrible, dark bargain: he will use his magic to grant the King one night of deception. The price is catastrophic: a violated queen, a murdered duke, and a kingdom betrayed. From this night of treachery, a child is born-a boy who is bartered away before his first breath. Hidden from his legacy, the boy named Arthur grows up in obscurity, ignorant of the magic, murder, and broken oaths that will forged his destiny. But fifteen years later, at a great tournament, a sword set in stone awaits. The prince conceived in darkness must now rise into the light and claim the throne his father's sins nearly destroyed.
