Raised by his witch-mother and an embittered foster father, Mordred of Orkney wants nothing more than to serve the uncle he idolizes, King Arthur. Discovering that he is Arthur's bastard son, not his nephew, Mordred confronts his beloved king. The king rejects him—turning Mordred's worship into an all-consuming hatred.
