Prophecy: Clash of Kings

M. K. Hume

Amid the bloody battlefields of Britain, Merlin is marked for greatness...

In the town of Segontium, a fugitive is washed ashore.  He brutally rapes the granddaughter of the king of the Deceangli tribe, leaving her to bear his son, Myrddion.  Spurned as a demon seed, the boy is raised by his grandmother and he is apprenticed to a skilled healer who hones his remarkable gift.  Meanwhile, the High King of the Celts, Vortigern, is rebuilding the ancient fortress at Dinas Emrys.  According to a prophecy, he must use the blood of a demon seed to make the towers stand firm.  Myrddion’s life is in jeopardy.  But the boy has a prophecy of his own and a richer destiny to fulfil.  Soon Vortigern shall be known as the harbinger of chaos, and Myrddion must use his gifts for good in a kingdom besieged by evil.  So begins the healer’s journey to greatness...
