Told from the point of view of Arthur's trusted advisor, Merlin, this second book in the absorbing Arthurian Saga trilogy has all the hallmarks of a Stewart novel: gripping prose, dynamic characters, and plenty of plot twists. But The Hollow Hills ratchets up the drama to soap opera-worthy levels—adult readers only, please—to chronicle the transformation of fifth-century tribal Britain into a powerful island kingdom with the iconic Camelot at its heart.
