Book four in the series A Tetralogy of Tales. Although dense fog obscures the early history of Britannia and Irish Scotia, enough of the ancient panorama is discernible to know the old Celts were pagans, devoted to a pantheon of gods, including the Phoenician goddess Ashtoreth, known also as Astarte or Easter. Yet, in the days of King Arthur, so long as faith and freedom flourished the barbaric hordes and heathen rituals were held at bay. With his death the invaders enshrouded Britannia once again in paganism. In the early kingdoms of the aristocracy there were shadow sovereigns, secret masters of monarchs—the avowed enemies of King Arthur’s heirs.
