derfel hatrına defalarca okunası bir kitaptır, ilk sayfada sizi nasıl bir kitabın beklediği gerçeği yüzünüze çarpar zaten. serinin açık ara en iyi kitabıdır, ama türkçesi pek öyle değildir. girişi için bakınız:
''... it was a lifetime ago, in the last year of high king uther's reign. that year, as the romans used to reckon time, was 1233 years after the founding of their city, though we in britain usually date our years from the black year which was when the romans cut down the druids on ynys mon. by that reckoning arthur's story begins in the year 420, though sansum, may god bless him, numbers our era from the date of our lord jesus christ's birth which he believes happened 480 winters before these things began. but however you count the years it was a long time ago, once upon a time, in a land called britain, and i was there.
and this is how it was.''
