      About This Book

      ONCE AND FUTURE.
      TWICE AND PAST.

      The year is 1199 and on the borders of England and Wales young Arthur de Caldicot waits impatiently to grow up and become a knight. One day his father's friend Merlin gives Arthur a shining black stone — a seeing stone that shows him visions of his namesake, King Arthur.

      At first, there seems to be no connection between Arthur's past and present. Manor life for Arthur de Caldicot is a complex struggle of terrible secrets and haunting jealousies. Nothing like the red and white dragons, or the sword in the stone. And yet .. . there is something binding the two Arthurs together.

      It will be young Arthur's fate to discover what this connection is....
