In this second volume of the Black Sand Beach trilogy, the story of Arthur, Merlyn and the march to the Stone continues over obstacles, false starts, skirmishes, battles and high ambition. Bleys the Scribe stood next to me as we gazed out the tall open window. "Arthur," he said, "why have those important years faded and finally vanished from our memories, while other foolish things remain to hold our fascination? Do you think they were unimportant years? Be careful now," he cautioned, "think of beginnings because certainly you understand that nothing can ever begin without a shift in the rhythms of time. Beginnings are important, far more important than endings. Those were fearsome and difficult years, Arthur, but it was at that beginning time that the great final verses were crafted. Remember this: our story began in the Fortress of the Perilous Wall, but the shift that will create the Legend will begin at the Stone. At that time. Only at that time."
