Some landscapes hold more magic than others. When Laura Matthews moves to her new home in the Welsh mountains she finds it to be a place so alive with tales and legends that she is able to reach through the gossamer-fine veil that separates her own world from that of myth and fable. Her own story becomes inextricably linked to that of Megan, a young nurse-maid who trod the same hills over seven hundred years earlier. They come to share their love for the same wild landscape, and a love for the same man, a young magician named Merlin.
