Merlin, the immortal son of the bard Taliesin and Atlantean Princess Charis, is followed through his tragic upbringing, descent into madness, and shocking disappearance, leading to the legend that surrounds him. Set before King Arthur's birth, Merlin, assumed dead or a myth, reemerges in sub-Roman Britain to unite the fractured kingdoms under threat from Saxon invaders.

David wakes up in a flat he doens’t quite recognise, with a flatmate he is not sure he knows, and a black door that seems to disappear when you look at it directly.
