The broken kings

About “The broken kings”

The hill below the fortress of Taurovinda, stronghold of Urtha, High King of the Cornovidi, is being taken over by the Shadows of Heroes, an Otherworldly realm. This time, their actions are guided by a force that is darker and older than the ghosts themselves. Merlin, a temporary resident in the fortress, must uncover what is bringing the Dead back to life. Jason's ship, Argo, has returned, drawn by her own past and a secret she will only share with Merlin. Argo holds the key to the mystery. Niiv, a Northlands enchantress, is also drawing closer to Merlin. This third volume of the Merlin Codex by Robert Holdstock blends myth and history into a tale of honor, vengeance, and magic. At its center is Merlin, an enchanter full of life, curiosity, and power, yet unaware of his own past. He seeks to find a true and honorable use for his talents. The novel was published in 2007.
