Synopsis

In the sequel to Celtika, the enchanter Merlin returns to Alba--only to be confronted by three dire warnings--accompanied by Urtha, High King of the Cornovidi, who seeks to reclaim his stronghold from the warriors of Ghostland, and Jason, out to find his younger son, hiding somewhere in the kingdom.

About this title

Review:

Three warnings greet Merlin on his return to Alba, the future England, and to the deserted fortress of Taurovinda. He is not the only one making the journey: Urtha, High King of the Cornovidi, is coming home to reclaim his stronghold. And Jason is coming to seek his younger son Kinos, 'the Little Dreamer', hiding somewhere in the Celtic kingdom. He sails on Argo, resurrected after seven centuries. But Urtha's fortress has been taken by warriors from Ghostland. There will be war against the Otherworld. Holdstock weaves myth and history into a fabulous tale of honour, death and magic. And at the centre, moving along his never-ending path, is Merlin himself, an enchanter in the prime of his life: reckless, curious, powerful, yet a stranger to his own past.

Book Description:

Long before King Arthur is born to rule England, the enchanter Merlin is caught up in a tangled web of magic and mayhem, treachery, truth and heady enchantment
