Mordred is the son of King Arthur, bastard child of his union with his half-sister Morgause. Prophesied by Merlin to kill Arthur, Mordred is stolen away from his mother and raised in secrecy by a kind couple on an isolated Orkney island in the hopes that he will defy his fate.

Mordred, known to history as a traitor and a murderer, is no villain, but a quick-witted young man, with hopes and dreams of his own. But try as he might, Mordred cannot escape Merlin s prophecy.

For his mother, Morgause, has plans of her own. She tracks her son down and takes him back, then feeds the flames of Mordred s ambition, setting into motion a chain of events that will go down in history - and legend - as father and son are finally forced to confront each other one last time: on the wicked day of destiny, when Arthur s final battle will be fought.

Mary Stewart s stunning Arthurian Saga began with The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment and The Wicked Day. It concludes with The Prince && the Pilgrim.

Mary Stewart was one of the 20th century s bestselling and best-loved novelists. She was born in Sunderland, County Durham in 1916, but lived for most of her life in Scotland, a source of much inspiration for her writing. Her first novel, Madam, Will You Talk? was published in 1955 and marked the beginning of a long and acclaimed writing career. In 1971 she was awarded the International PEN Association s Frederick Niven Prize for The Crystal Cave, and in 1974 the Scottish Arts Council Award for one of her children s books, Ludo and the Star Horse. She was married to the Scottish geologist Frederick Stewart, and died in 2014.
