The Romans have left Britannia and the country is being ravished by the Saxon and Norse invaders, this is the world into which that Merlin is born. The son of a Welsh princess and an unknown father, rumoured to be the Prince of Darkness himself, Merlin discovers the magic and sanctuary of the Crystal Cave from a very early age. Forced to flee his grandfather's court after an attempted poisoning, Merlin retreats to the Crystal Cave where the god, Myrrdin, sends him on a mission to raise the King Sword, Excalibur, for the unborn Once and Future King. Pursued by the Dark Lord Aravin and his Dark Riders, Merlin is joined by the White Wolf, Cafall. Aided by the people he meets, Merlin is forced to finally confront the Dark Lord in the Throne Room of Aravin. Excalibur, The Seeking for the Sword is a magical and exciting tale set in the Dark Ages when the old gods are leaving Britannia. Their final act is to prepare the way, through Merlin, for the Coming of the Once and Future King, King Arthur.

The Dark Lord has sent his fearsome Blood Riders and a fire-breathing dragon to destroy the whole of Camelot and Avalon and neither Uther Pendragon, the King of Camelot, nor Galapas, its High Mage, can stand against these Dark Magic driven forces. But there is one who carries the Old Magic with him, the only problem is that he is only eleven years old and has never even seen a dragon let alone confronted one. He is the Raven Boy, for that is the name that the ravens know him by, but to the world he is Merlin and he is the son of Mithras Invictus the greatest and most powerful of the Elder gods. The Blood Riders are burning and slaughtering all before them and Merlin knows that he must summon the Old Magic and the magical talking beasts of Avalon to save Camelot from being totally and completely destroyed by the Forces of the Dark.

The Minotaur has been unleashed from the depths of Hell to kill Merlin. The boy enchanter knows that the only way to kill a Minotaur is to cut its head off but how do you do that when you can't actually reach its head? Merlin is joined by Kraak, King of the Raven Kind, Grim the ghoul and the assassin, Archer in a desperate attempt to save Camelot. Merlin knows that there will be deaths in this battle but he has no idea as to who it is that is destined to die. Merlin asks his father, Mithras Invictus, the Greatest of the Elder gods, for support but the god is disillusioned with Camelot and refuses. Even Camelot's king, Uther Pendragon, cannot help as this is a battle of the Old Magic with the Dark Magic.

There had been blue lightning arcing and burning over the Great Stones of Avalon the night that the young warrior, Galahad, had so mysteriously appeared there. But who is Galahad and can Merlin truly trust him? Merlin's father, the Elder god, Mithras Invictus, tells him that he can trust the boy warrior with his life but Merlin is not so sure. Avalon is threatened by the Lord of Chaos and his Lords of Winter and Merlin needs all the help that he can get. Once more Merlin, Grim the Ghoul and Kraak the King of the Raven Kind, are joined by the three Mythical Beasts of Avalon that are Draago the Last of the Dragon Kind, Stormrider the golden King of the Unicorns and Firewing the Griffin in a desperate attempt to save Camelot from the Forces of Darkness that have broken through from the Abyss.

Camelot is in deep trouble, for not only has Merlin's father, the Elder god Mithras Invictus, left Avalon possibly never to return, but King Uther Pendragon has ordered that all the Elder god's shrines and altars are to be pulled down. This is not a great idea when the Lords of Winter are already at the Gates of Avalon and are waiting to bring the Cold of Eternal Winter to Camelot and its surrounding lands. The Druids are desperately trying to defend Avalon but they can only hold the Lords of Winter at bay for a short time. The young Druid girl, Ceinwen, comes to Camelot in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the destruction of the Elder god's altars. Once again it is left to Merlin, Galahad, Kraak and Grim to stand and fight for the survival of Camelot and Avalon.

The Dark Lord has brought his Immortal Army of the Dead out of the Underworld to totally destroy Avalon. Only Merlin the eleven year old son of the Elder god, Mithras the Unconquered, and his friends of the Old Magic can defend Camelot and Avalon in this battle for the very survival of Mankind. The Gates of the Underworld have been thrown down by the Dark Lord to release his Army of Devils and Demons who cannot be slain by any living hand. Merlin summons all the Mythical Beasts of Avalon, Draago the Dragon, Firewing the Griffin, Stormrider the Golden Unicorn to join with Gwydion and his Druids, Galahad the boy warrior, Grim the Ghoul, Kraak King of the Raven Kind and Myfanwy the Druid girl in this desperate battle for the survival of the World of Men. The Battle for Avalon is about to begin.
