Here is Merlin as he has never been seen before. Spawn of Lucifer, begotten by a virgin, not wholly man or devil. From within the prison of a crystal cave, Merlin gazes back on his wild and wicked life and relives the bawdy intimacies of Camelot. His own conception, attended by his demonic uncles Astarot and Beelzebub. His part in the illicit coupling of Igrayne and Uther Pendragon. And his artifices in procuring for Arthur his half-sister Morgan Le Fay. But this is also the story of Merlin's struggle to escape his destiny (the Antichrist striking back at Heaven)---and to foil the works of the Prince of Darkness.
