Merlin's father is Aurelius Ambrosius, the Roman war leader, Uther Pendragon's brother, making Merlin Arthur's cousin. Merlin's 22 when the book opens the morning after Arthur's conception. The pregnancy has taken place as a result, not of shape-changing, but of ordinary human disguise & misdirection. Duchess Ygraine is said to have known who she was mating with & whose son she bears from the moment Uther came to her. Merlin hides to avoid trouble. He learns that Uther wishes the child hidden until a legitimate son is born.
Merlin travels about, arranging for Arthur's upbringing. He gives the child first to his own nurse Moravik, who after some years sends the boy to Count Ector of Galava to be trained as a man. Merlin goes to Constantinople, accompanied by a some servants. There he learns from his host Adhjan that Magnus Maximus (aka Macsen Wledig) possessed a specially beautiful & well-made sword, which was taken back to Britain after Macsen Wledig's death. Inspired by a prophetic dream, Merlin returns to the North in search of it.
He finds it in a deserted British temple, hidden beside a Greek drinking-vessel. He takes only the sword.
In order to hide from curious people, Merlin becomes a hermit in an obscure shrine, providing healing to the injured & advice to the insecure. He committs himself to no religion, but allows whatever god is willing to receive the offerings at the shrine.
Later, Merlin becomes Arthur's tutor & that of two other boys, Arthur's foster-brother Cei & friend Bedwyr. Out riding, Arthur discovers Macsen's sword hidden in a cave on an island. With it, he fights his first battle & proves his right to succeed Uther as High King before assembled kings & chieftains.]]> 1973 5 0 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 1979 Wed Oct 01 23:18:38 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 23:25:15 -0700 2008 1
