In the depths of Broceliande - an ancient French woodland - Merlin and the enchantress Vivien play out their deadly feud. Meanwhile, a child is born deaf, dumb and blind. His senses return at the expense of his mother's, who must discover the wood's mystery and set the combatants free.

Reviews'He is a compelling myth-maker, creating new legends, heroes and villains, new wonders to wake our dormant sense of wonder. THE BROKEN KINGS is simply magical.' - THE TIMES on THE BROKEN KINGS The mythic references are richly detailed [Holdstock] is head and shoulders above the majority of today s fantasy writers." - MX
