Enemy Of God
Enemy of God is the second novel of the Warlord series, and immediately follows the events
described in The Winter King. In that book the King of Dumnonia and High King of Britain, Uther, dies
and is succeeded by his lamed baby grandson, Mordred. Arthur, a bastard son of Uther’s, is appointed
one of Mordred’s guardians and in time becomes the most important of those guardians. Arthur is
determined to fulfil the oath he swore to Uther that Mordred, when he comes of age, will occupy
Dumnonia’s throne.
Arthur is also determined to bring peace to the warring British kingdoms. The major conflict is
between Dumnonia and Powys, but when Arthur is invited to marry Ceinwyn, a Princess of Powys, it
seems that war can be avoided. Instead Arthur elopes with the penniless Princess Guinevere and that
insult to Ceinwyn brings on years of war that are ended only when Arthur defeats King Gorfyddyd of
Powys at the Battle of Lugg Vale. Powys’s throne then passes to Cuneglas, Ceinwyn’s brother, who,
like Arthur, wants peace between the Britons so that they can concentrate their spears against the
common enemy, the Saxons (the Sais).
The Winter King, like the present book, was narrated by Derfel (pronounced Dervel), a Saxon slave
boy who grew up in Merlin’s household and became one of Arthur’s warriors. Arthur sent Derfel to
Armorica (today’s Brittany) where he fought in the doomed campaign to preserve the British kingdom of
Benoic against Frankish invaders. Among Benoic’s refugees who return to Britain is Lancelot, King of
Benoic, whom Arthur now wants to marry to Ceinwyn and place on the throne of Siluria. Derfel has
fallen in love with Ceinwyn.
Derfel’s other love is Nimue, his childhood friend who has become Merlin’s helpmate and lover.
Merlin is a Druid and the leader of the faction in Britain that wants to restore the island to its old Gods, to
which end he is pursuing a Cauldron, one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain, a quest which for Merlin
and Nimue far outranks any battle against other kingdoms or invaders. Opposing Merlin are the
Christians of Britain, one of whose leaders is Bishop Sansum who lost much of his power when he defied
Guinevere. Sansum is now in disgrace and serving as Abbot of the Monastery of the Holy Thorn at Ynys
Wydryn (Glastonbury).
The Winter King ended with Arthur winning the great battle at Lugg Vale. Mordred’s throne is safe,
the southern British kingdoms are allied and Arthur, though not a king himself, is their undisputed leader.
