The Realm is poised for war. Its weak king is dominated by his beautiful wife and her lover. Against them stand Duke Richard and his allies. The War of the Roses looms...
Watching over the Realm is Gwydion, who has walked the land since before the time of the druids. He was here when
Arthur rode to war: then they called him 'Merlyn'. Unlike the dukes who now jockey for power, Gwydion knows that the Realm is protected by lines of power channelled through a grid of standing stones. But the strength of the array was broken when invaders laid straight roads across the land and built wailed cities of shattered stone.
A thousand years have passed since then, and those roads and wails have fallen into decay. The battlestones are awakening. Unless Gwydion and his young apprentice, Will, can thwart them, the Realm will be plunged into a disastrous civil war. But there are many enemies ranged against them, including a sorcerer who is as powerful as Gwydion himself.
