Summary
By land and water shall it go home, and lie hidden in the floating stone until by fire it shall be raised again. Arthur has raised the sword and claimed his birthright as High King of Briton, determined to unite the many tiny kingdoms that make up his country. Now he sits upon his throne at Camelot with Merlin by his side, his most trusted adviser.
But Merlin is growing old, and his sight is dimming. He knows that Mordred, child of Arthur's unknowing union with his half-sister Morgause, will be Arthur's downfall. But he cannot see the future clearly enough to know why, or how - or when. And he's distracted: his gifted young apprentice, Niniane, is more than meets the eye. As Merlin teaches her to control her powers, he seems to lose his own.
Merlin has secured Arthur's place in history. Now he must take his own.
The Arthurian Saga, begun in The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills and The Last Enchantment, continues in The Wicked Day, the story of Arthur's last battle....

Enchanting. Entrancing.
I first read this series when I was young and impressionable and found them to be captivating and wonderful. Now that I am old and impressionable I am happy to find joy in these excellent spoken editions.
A wondetful author transformed by an excellent narrator telling timeless tales.
Thank you.

Perfect end to the Merlin trilogy
I’ve really enjoyed rediscovering these books with Derek Perkins. As a child I remember being disappointed with this final book but listening to it now, as an adult, I appreciated it more. I was so relieved with the ending!

Arthurian legend from Merlins pov
I enjoyed this book for the detail and description of everyday matters. Not an exact match to Mort de Artur, but this was written several centuries after the time of Arthur. Good story though.

Great
+What can I say ? This brilliant novel completes the series. It takes me back to the early 1970's, when I read it for the first time. I remember being enthralled at such good writing, imbued with atmosphere and adventure. Merlin can appear somewhat arrogant - but who wouldn't be with such immense power. A great book and series that has retained its "pulling power " and enjoyment.
I still cannot praise the narrator highly enough. He made the book even better than it is.

Red and white dragons
I live in North Wales. I was invited for High Tea at the home of a very close friend. She knows that I’m a follower of Arthurian Legend. She also invited a close friend, godmother to his daughters, who is one of the World’s leading authorities of Arthurian Legend who was at Oxford University. My friend lives on Anglesey,also known as Mona, which is one of the last strongholds of the druids. The extension of their home was built with nails and wood From the Spanish armada. We talked for hours in before we left I ask him where is the closest place that is mentioned in many the books …a place that kept falling down. He said there was a white and a red dragon living in a lake underneath where they were building the foundation.It is in snowdonia. We live in a secluded small holding with no neighbours that overlooks the mountains of Snowdonia. One day we made a day trip to Snowdonia and which is the place in clambered up the side of what used to be

Best trilogy
Read this trilogy several times and really enjoyed it. The audible books are well read and enhance the drama of the Arthurian legend. Well worth listening to.

Totally enjoyable
Excellent narration. For me this was a slightly differently take on Merlin. Of which there have been many over the years, it a story that fascinates so many people. Mary Stewart's take on Merlin and Arthur was fascinating.

A legend told in true style
Having listened to the three Merlin books in succession, I feel truly submerged in that history.
I first read these books as a teenager and still have my battered paperback of The crystal cave.
I was a bit worried that the story and the reading would not live up to fond memories, but no such thing.
Provided you can listen to long, in depth descriptions and explanations, this trilogy is a wonderfully immersive experience of Merlin's life.
Derek Perkins's narration is calm but never boring and thoroughly convincing.
Highly recommended all round.
