With Uther, Jack Whyte, author of the richly praised Camulod Chronicles, has given us a portrait of Uther Pendragon, Merlyn's shadow--his boyhood companion and closest friend. And the man who would sire the King of the Britons.From the trials of boyhood to the new cloak of adult responsibility, we see Uther with fresh eyes. He will travel the length of the land, have adventures, and, through fate or tragedy, fall in love with the one woman he must not have. Uther is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything that has been available to readers before.

Not even the wizard can say.''There is something mighty fey about all this, or my name ain''t Diggory Stokey.''Far away from Kottow, a forest lies lost in the mists of a dream. There''s much to mend in this hoary old wood, for the Summer''s been swept from the glittering skies, and no one''s keeping an eye on the Winter...''Enchanted forests,'' Mudleaf spat. ''Bah. Like it''s been raining magic this long age through.''The good folk of Kottow aren''t used to so wayward a magic - not even Maut Fey, the one with the sunlight behind her eyes.
