Notes

Primarily a historical novel, but contains at least some arguably SF content, e.g. prophesies. (2013)

Myrddion (Merlin) is born of a rape; raised by his grandmother, priestess to the goddess Ceridwen; apprenticed to the healer Annwynn. In review of the 2013 US edition Battle of Kings (Fantasy; Historical Fantasy), Kirkus mentions demons and gods, healers and sorcerers. It concludes that the story "will appeal to those who thrill to Game of Thrones and other tales of intersecting, ever-warring, noble lineages." (2022)
