The Stones of Camelot — Brian Stableford

Amory was once taken into Faerie as a changeling, but then returned. While being cared for by the Sisters of Saint Syncletica, he becomes preoccupied with the mystery of his origin, wanting to know why Faerie rejected him. When Amory travels with Merlin to Camelot, he is determined to find out what he wants to know. Morgana Le Fay helps him, at a price, but in so doing, causes the fall of King Arthur's fragile kingdom. Amory escapes into Faerie with Morgana, where he sets out to penetrate a secret that even Merlin dared not uncover: the mystery of the Dark Land, which lies within Faerie just as Faerie lies within the human world. The Stones of Camelot is an exotic metaphysical fantasy in the tradition of Roger Zelazny Amber series and Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Brian Stableford has been a professional writer since 1965. He has published more than 50 novels and 200 stories.
