Wise Merlin of the 'Fair Folk' had foreseen which Knight shall sit upon the 'Siege Perilous' but his visions would disturb him greatly. The tale of the Grail Cup has many souls that would seek it, but would the Grail Maiden give them the chance to heal the land of Lloegres? The World of Men it seemed was ever easy to control. And so the 'Fair Folk' watch from their Crystal Castle at Avalon. They spy upon the World of Men. Math Mathonwy, bides his time as does the Queen of Norgales. Their greatest concern is that his beloved son Wise Merlin has been missing for eighteen long summers and even he cannot 'foresee' with his sorcery as to where his 'Fair Folk' son may be. This brilliant re-telling of the timeless tales of King Arthur and his Knights is a "must read." Not only is the text vibrant and fresh, the author breathes new life into the characters and creates a world of harsh, brutal reality and enchanting, mystical sorcery. These epic novels are beautifully detailed, graphically portrayed and the writing is gritty, lyrical and erotic. - DAVID - DP DOT COM This Arthurian, highly gripping legend is like no other, it is all here - love, violence, murder, mystery, betrayal, sorcery, loyalty and enchantments. Good versus evil and light versus darkness bound in a cloak of the frightening supernatural. - KALPESH FATANIA Astounding books to read, so full of adventure and excitement! There is a lot of emotions and so much going on! The story itself is just amazing! I would thoroughly recommend parts 1, 2 and 3 to anyone. There is a lot of sadness and tears and hope and glory. These books are a joy to read. - TONY ROWLETT
