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.
In their eagerness to collect once and for all the thirteen objects scattered throughout Britain, Merlin and Nimue commission Derfel Cardan to obtain the last of them: the mythical sword of King Arthur, Excalibur. As Arthur's men prepare to face the decisive battle against the Saxons by invoking their gods, Merlin and Nimue initiate a bloody ritual involving the sacrifice of a king. However, through strange paths in which the captivity of Geneva at the hands of Morgana crosses, the sorcerers and King Arthur will join forces to face a new invasion of Dumnonia launched by the Saxons, whose outcome will be the terrible and most violent battle of Camlann.
After a time of precariousness and battles, the brave warrior Arthur has managed to establish peace between the British kingdoms, and everything seems to point to a perpetual happiness: the throne of Mordred is safe, Guinevere carries in her womb Arthur's son, Lancelot is about to get married. Yet Arthur, with his soldierly arrogance, has scorned the influence of the wayward pagan gods and his ally Merlin. This one tries to reunite the thirteen sacred objects scattered by all Britania to restore the empire of the chaos and to expel the Saxons; perhaps because magic exists, provided there is someone who believes in it.
