Merlin, the wise wizard, comforts Uther with a prophecy, and upon the king’s death, Arthur emerges as his secret heir. The tale unfolds with a divine test of kingship represented by the sword in the stone, which only Arthur can draw. Readers witness his trials as he gains acceptance as king amidst a backdrop of rivalry and civil strife among powerful lords.
