Synopsis
Born the bastard son of a Welsh princess, Myridden Emrys — or as he would later be known, Merlin — leads a perilous childhood, haunted by portents and visions. But destiny has great plans for this no-man's-son, taking him from prophesying before the High King Vortigern to the crowning of Uther Pendragon . . . and the conception of Arthur — king for once and always.

July 30, 2009: have you read the stories of Merlin and King Arthur? Oh, you don't know Arthur or Merlin until you read Mary Stewart's series giving us a much better idea of how things happend and why. The characters aren't just thrown in the book; they make the book with their very real-like characteristics and conversations. Nothing is fake in this series! I am jsut going into the second book, but this first one will definately make you want to read the others. Don't miss out on this because it is amazing and brings Arthur's legacy alive like no one else has!
In this first book, we are told the story from Merlin's point-of-view. We really get closer to him and understand how he became who he was for all of England. It is to my understanding that Merlin tells all of the stories from his point of view until the last one because *SPOILER* he dies and cannnot (obviously) tell the story any longer.A great story; Arthur and Merlin fans won't be disappointed. Mordred is also put in this story, and follows what we believe is the closest to what really happened back them; Lancelot is not in the series since he is a mythical character anyhow.Goodby Tiffannie

July 28, 2009: This book is interesting and I thought there was one part where i was surprised in a good way. A book always needs at least one surprising moment. It talks about Merlin's childhood, which is often untold, so I thought Mary Stewart was smart in that way. The following two are better though and more interesting.
