The most famous magician in myth or history.
The mage who guided a great king.
He was Merlin.
Delving deep into the mythos of King Arthur, this issue tells the tale of a young Merlin-called Myrddin and his mysterious beginnings. It shows how he came to ambiguously prophesy a future for the land of Britain. Living in Carmarthen with his mother, the men of King Vortigern come to seize the "fatherless child" whose blood is needed for a sacrifice so that Vortigern’s stronghold against the High King’s sons can be completed without incident. But Myrddin, while in a trance, has a pointed way of convincing him that he knows more than the king’s own druid. Will Myrddin’s predictions come to pass?
