The Romans have finally left Britain, and soon a fight to the death has broken out to fill the power vacuum and, at the same time, the Saxons await the opportunity at the border to invade the country. The death of the High King, Uther Pendragon, leaving Mordred, still an infant, as heir to the throne, only complicates the situation and ends the last hint of unity. Only one man is capable of taking over the guardianship of the child and thus preventing the kingdom from falling into the hands of Saxons or being devastated by internal fighting, and that man is an illegitimate son of Pendragon living in exile, a mythical warrior protected by the magician Merlin and who responds to the name of Arthur.
