Each chapter tells of a character in Merlin's legend: Merlin as an infant, a wild child, a young boy seeking his way in the world. Then there are chapters that tell of other characters in the cycle, such as Gwenhyfar, Arthur, Lancelot, Sir Kay, with Merlin serving as a character behind the scenes. Geoffrey of Monmouth or Mallory is the heading in each chapter, which then tells a tale Merlin's birth while scribing the last words from Father Blaise, or capturing the thoughts of a wild boy as he lives a year in the wild, or the birth of a white child called Gwynhfar that the Old One knows is destined to unite a kingdom.
In the telling of Elaine's tale, Guenevere is called Veree; her true name of Gwyneth is not revealed until the end when Merlin comes to take the sword from her on the Isle of Women. Or he is doddering old Master Linn, seemingly everywhere, and bringing young Artos to a cave where he can learn from a dragon.
The final story is more present-day, and involve the archeological dig that uncovers a skeleton from the early Bronze Age in the fens that could, just maybe, be that of Merlin. It's told from the POV of a trio of journalists present at the unveiling, complete with the Crown Prince of England who helped direct the archeological dig.
