Stewart's first book in the Arthurian Saga presents a Merlin from his childhood as the spat upon bastard of his Welsh princess mother and an unnamed father to a young man who becomes respected and feared. Told in the first person narrative of Merlin looking back on his life, we see a Merlin who from a rather young age is driven by visions and curiosity. The story is part diary, part adventure, part fantasy. At times it is gripping, and we see how slowly Merlin becomes the person of legend, but still very human.
