Description: The Stones of Camelot tells the story of Amory, a boy who interests the wizard Merlin, because he has a faint echo of magic within him: the apparent result of being taken into Faerie as a changeling and then returned. While being cared for and educated by the Sisters of Saint Syncletica, when he is still too young to go to Camelot, Amory becomes preoccupied with the mystery of his origin, wanting to know why Faerie rejected him.When Amory goes with Merlin to Camelot, where he is used as a common servant rather than an apprentice in magic, he finds Arthur's new-born kingdom in difficult circumstances. Arthur and Merlin are desperate to recruit allies to resist the invasion of Britain by the Saxons, but the Welsh are reluctant and the Church wants a high price for its support. Arthur is enthusiastic to ask for assistance from Morgana le Fay, from whom Merlin obtained the magic that put him on his throne--but Merlin is dead against it, for reasons he will not explain to Arthur, let alone to Amory.
