In a great overnight battle Merlin guides Ambrosius and Uthers' army to victory. Ambrosius is now King of All Britain. In the aftermath of battle he confides to Merlin that he would like to build a great monument - a tribute to himself and to all those who died in the Wars. But their victory has been saddened by the death of Ninianne. A new crisis is looming. The Saxons have now allied with a powerful Irish Prince, Giloman of Killare. Uther and Merlin travel to Killare where the Irish are routed. At Killare there is a ring of Standing Stones which superstitious men caution Merlin from entering. Despite this, Merlin enters the ring and, reluctantly guarded by Ralf, spends the night asleep on a great black altar stone. He knows that this stone must be carried to Britain, to the Giant's Dance (Stonehenge). The altar stone is slowly bought back to Britain; Merlin is grappling with the building the Giant's Dance when a messenger arrives to tell Merlin that his father has died in Winchester. Merlin vows that he will complete the Giant's Dance as Ambrosius' monument, and Ninianne's and more. He persists at his work. During the building Camlach attempts to murder him but is himself killed by a falling lintel. Uther is still contemptuous of Merlin and watches the rise of Stonehenge with indifference. this feeling is quashed by the final sequence of events: Merlin completes the Dance and, with a funeral of one thousand torches buries Ambrosius and Ninianne in its centre. A great vision is shown, a vision of Ambrosius in reunion with Ninianne, and of the young King Arthur, as yet unborn, who will be the greatest King that Britain will ever know.

Merlin has been sent to Britain by his father Ambrosius to lure Vortigen and his army South. Now Merlin has led Vortigern into the heart of a mountain to a great underground lake. He tells Vortigern that beneath the waters of the lake lies the answer to his troubles. Vortigern orders the lake to be drained. By trickery Merlin produces from the mud of the drained lake his Red Dragon brooch. He tells Vortigern that this is a deadly sign - it means that the Red Dragon rules in North Wales, overpowering the White Dragon of Vortigern. Panic stricken, Vortigern orders his army to retreat to the south. Events now move swiftly. Merlin with his gift of 'the sight' knows that his father Ambrosius has already landed in the south with his army. Merlin sends Ralf forward to contact Ambrosius, whilst he himself returns to Maridunum to visit his mother in the convent. There he finds her near to death. Vortigern takes up position by the water at Doward. Merlin, Ambrosius and Uther move swiftly through the valleys and confront him there. Uther's first attack is beaten back, so Merlin devises a new plan of attacking Vortigern by fire and water. His plan works - Vortigern's position is overcome and destroyed and Vortigern is killed. Ambrosius is now the King of All Britain.

Ambrosius prepares for his invasion. News comes from Britain of an unsuccessful rebellion against his enemy Vortigern, the usurper High King who had been fortified by his recent alliance with the Saxons. Ambrosius knows that to overcome Vortigern he must be lured from his stronghold and defeated in open country. Merlin offers to go secretly to Britain with Ralf to bring this about. They arrive to find Merlin's home village, Maridunum, burnt and pillaged by Vortigern's army. His uncle, Camlach, has been deposed of his Kingship and is now a hunted fugitive. Ralf and Merlin also find Galapas murdered by his cave, and Merlin suspects that this is Camlach's work. Merlin and Ralf are seized by Vortigern's men who have had word of their arrival. They are carried North to Vortigern's strong great fortress that will defy all attacker. But as fast as the building rises, it collapses in ruins. Vortigern has captured Merlin because his soothsayers have told him that only the blood of a Royal Prince mixed into the mortar can make the fortress stand. But Merlin outfaces Vortigern, promising that he'll show him why his fortress keeps collapsing. He leads him and his court to a hidden shaft that leads downwards into the heart of the mountain. He boldly invites Vortigern to come with him into the cave ....
