{"product_id":"the-hollow-hills-9781568650630","title":"The Hollow Hills","description":"\u003cp\u003eA novel that recreates the suspense and excitement of an ancient legend - how Merlin  the enchanter  helped Arthur become King of all Britain. The Hollow Hills takes place in a fifth-century Britain fraught with superstition and fear  where no life is safe  no law is stable  and where a king risks accusations of murder and adultery to get himself an heir. For his own safety  the boy Arthur  rejected as a bastard by his father  is long kept ignorant of his parentage. Behind and around Arthur always is the mysterious  strong  yet vulnerable figure of Merlin  who sees and knows so much but who  like Arthur  must also suffer for the sake of a nation being born. In this world of embattled kings and courtiers  hurried journeys  whispered anxieties  and sudden death  we watch Merlin and Arthur follow their common destiny. Merlin is the narrator  and his prophetic voice communicates not only the bristling atmosphere of the ancient setting but also the profound relevance of this age-old tale to our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651770998837,"sku":"ByrdShop_1568650639","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781568650630.jpg?v=1781840145","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-hollow-hills-9781568650630","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
