Sam Gordon is followed by someone dressed like a wizard. He figures the guy to be another San Francisco lunatic until the man meets Sam at his favorite café carrying on about time continuum portals. Assured of the man's insanity, Sam escapes out the back door, which drops him into a strange place.

In a land of green grass and no automobiles, Sam cannot find the door back to the café. He questions his sanity and sets out to find someone who can give him directions. When he is attacked by a swordsman on horseback, a beautiful young woman named Margot, intervenes. She speaks an archaic dialect of Anglo-Saxon — a language Sam didn't know until that moment. Sam travels with them to Camelot and finds himself in King Arthur's court. Working as a blacksmith and studying the druidic arts under Merlin's tutelage, Sam learns he must complete an unknown task before a portal can open to his own place and time.

Merlin's Apprentice

“Are you out of your freaking mind?” I blurted.


The queen arched a brow. “What is freaking?”


“It’s an expletive to replace the more vulgar… Uh, never mind. You raped me.”


Guinevere laughed softly. “You can’t rape the willing, and you were extremely enthusiastic.”


“You took advantage of me in my sleep. I thought you were someone else.”


“If you’re that amorous in your sleep,” she replied in a husky voice, “then I can hardly wait for you to mount me when wide awake.” She paused. “Did you think I was your little French waif? She is young and shy, but she is attracted to you. That much is obvious. What was her name? Marie, Margaret, Mango…?”


“Margot. Her name is Margot, and she’s not my little waif. No, the two of you are nothing alike.”


“I see,” Guinevere said with a smile. “You defend her, meaning you are attracted to her. But,” she paused, pulling back the blankets to reveal her ample breasts. “You flatter me as well.”
