Description
The year is 1199, and thirteen-year-old Arthur de Caldicot lives on the borders of England and Wales, eagerly awaiting the day he can become a knight. His father's friend Merlin gives him a magical black seeing stone that shows him visions of his namesake, the legendary King Arthur. Through the stone, Arthur witnesses the dragons, battles, and swordplay of Camelot, which both excites and perplexes him as he waits to begin his own journey toward knighthood.
