Robert Holdstock Libri

Per il potente Merlino le sabbie del tempo sono granelli che scorrono nella strozzatura di una clessidra stregata: immobili come le acque gelate dei laghi della terra d'Alba, l'odierna Inghilterra. Ma i millenni concessi al più grande dei maghi si accorciano come i giorni a disposizione dei comuni mortali se non usa i suoi poteri magici con parsimonia. Anche stavolta il suo aiuto è necessario per proteggere le stirpi regali di valorosi eroi dalle insidie del mondo soprannaturale. E così, sette secoli dopo aver solcato le acque del Mar Egeo insieme a Giasone e ai magnifici Argonauti, Merlino è costretto ad affrontare una nuova ardua impresa. E mentre nei pressi della desolata fortezza di Taurovinda, un tempo magnifica dimora del re Urtha, infuria una terribile lotta tra uomini e fantasmi, usurpati e usurpatori, nella memoria di Merlino e del suo vecchio compagno Giasone riecheggia l'urlo di Medea: la madre assassina che ancora si nasconde negli abissi vorticosi del Tempo.
