Synopsis

An immortal child of the bard Taliesin and an Atlantean princess, Merlin endures a childhood marked by loss and trauma, a slow drift into madness, and a baffling vanishing that gives rise to his myth. Long before Arthur is born, the man many assume dead—or merely a folk tale—returns to a fractured, post‑Roman Britain and must navigate rival warlords, fragile loyalties, and the looming Saxon threat to weld the broken kingdoms together.
