Satisfying historical fantasy romance

The book is based loosely on the legend of King Arthur, and set during the reign of Henry Plantagenet (1154-1189). The idea is that Merlin has become an old hermit, living in secrecy in an ancient forest. A cruel and abusive lord murders his wife, and in revenge Merlin curses the lord's wife to give birth to a blind albino boy. The plot follows this boy, Mallory, from his tortured childhood until he grows to manhood, learns to fight and reclaim his estate. Oh yes, and he falls in love with Merlin's daughter. If you like a tortured hero romance, this is a good one. If you like romances featuring a blind hero, this one is highly recommended

One of the best books I've read

This book is really richly detailed. Tightly paced. Page turner from beginning to end. Character you care about. And most importantly, original.
