Jack Whyte provides a portrait of Merlyn's shadow - his boyhood companion and closest friend, 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 readers have seen before.
