"The white dragon is the symbol of the incomers - Hengest and his Angle hosts. They seek to claim this land as their own, to carve kingdoms from its heart. The red dragon is the spirit of the native Britons, the blood of your people, resisting."When Vortigern's tower crumbles and two dragons rise from the depths-one red, one white-only Merlin can uncover their meaning. Summoned to make sense of the omen, he reveals a vision of Britain's fate: the Red Dragon of the Britons locked in deadly struggle with the White Dragon of the Saxons.
Though Merlin banishes the beasts, their battle spills into the world of men. Now, as Aurelius marches under the Red Dragon and Hengest rallies his warbands beneath the White, the ancient prophecy begins to unfold. Which dragon will triumph-and at what cost to the land as they fight it out?
