Merlin: The Legend Begins #1

Book excerpt: Before there was King Arthur, Camelot, and the Knights of the Round Table, there was Merlin. In the year 410 A.D., a divided and decaying Rome calls the last of her occupying forces from the island of Britain. With the Roman legions gone, British warlords and foreign invaders alike begin to battle for control of the small isle. In the region known today as Wales, one warlord at last gains enough prominence to take the title “King”. His name is Vortigern. It is the tenth year of his reign, 435 A.D., and that is where our story begins... THIS ISSUE: “TO DEVIL A SON” - Having been defeated by King Vortigern, the Saxon king Carados vows his revenge and enlists the aid of a haggard old witch who summons an incubus to shame and torment Vortigern through his beloved daughter, the lady Alwyn. The union of the incubus and Alwyn brings forth a son named Merlin.
