Merlin's Wood, or, The Vision of Magic.
Broceliande. This was the forest of legend where Merlin came to dream
his magic and the enchantress Vivien had come to beguile that magic
from him...
Martin and Rebecca have long since fled the forest.
But returning years later for their mother's funeral they are at once
ensnared by the forest's net of enchantment – an evil that has held the
local villages, as far west as the stone-tattooed land of Carnac, in a
root-strong grip.
And when Rebecca gives birth to Daniel – a
beautiful child who is deaf, dumb and blind – she finds herself sucked
into a twilight world, where she begins to lose the power of song and
can see only strange, mysterious shadows. Thus begins a tragic
encounter with the past that will eventually transform into an
astonishing Vision of Magic.
