Several centuries after the legend of King Arthur, Merlin is finally freed from the stone prison in which Morgana had trapped him. But the world he returns to has changed deeply: the old beliefs are fading, magical creatures are becoming rare, and Christianity is extending its influence across the Celtic lands. Determined to preserve magic, Merlin entrusts Excalibur to Gwyned, a descendant of Galahad, and draws her into a new quest. Together, they face conspiracies, enemies, and supernatural forces in an attempt to save an ancient world threatened with disappearance.
