"[A] spellbinding twist on the Round Table legend . . . a standout in this enormous canon."- Publishers Weekly(starred review) The newly crowned King Arthur is unsure of himself; worse, the people are unsure of him. Too many people want the throne, and treachery is everywhere. Merlin must do something before the king is betrayed, or murdered, or-worst of all-gets married.
