This beautiful retelling of the first part of Arthur’s life intertwines an engaging fictional narrative with real historical facts, sources, and traditions from the rich tapestry of Arthurian legend. Young readers will meet Merlin, Morgana, and Uther Pendragon as Arthur comes of age, faces challenges, and steps into his destiny.
