The Minotaur has been unleashed from the depths of Hell to kill Merlin. The boy enchanter knows that the only way to kill a Minotaur is to cut its head off but how do you do that when you can't actually reach its head? Merlin is joined by Kraak, King of the Raven Kind, Grim the ghoul and the assassin, Archer in a desperate attempt to save Camelot. Merlin knows that there will be deaths in this battle but he has no idea as to who it is that is destined to die. Merlin asks his father, Mithras Invictus, the Greatest of the Elder gods, for support but the god is disillusioned with Camelot and refuses. Even Camelot's king, Uther Pendragon, cannot help as this is a battle of the Old Magic with the Dark Magic.
