About this listen

EPISODE 1: The Long Night Before the King

The greatest legends don’t begin with crowns, battles, or triumph…
They begin in silence.

Pendragon Tales: Advent of the Once and Future King opens with Britain in its darkest winter—
tribes scattered, families broken, prophecies forgotten.
Hope lies buried under frost and fear.

But Merlin knows the truth no one else can see:

Winter is not a grave.
Winter is a womb.

Just as Israel endured four hundred years of silence before a Child’s cry shattered the night, Britain now waits for its own sign—
a spark,
a whisper,
a king born in hidden places.

This Christmas side-series draws powerful parallels between the birth of Arthur and the Advent of Christ, exploring how light breaks into the world quietly, humbly, and at the exact moment darkness thinks it has won.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living through your own long night, this episode is the reminder:

Every winter ends.
Every silence breaks.
A king is on the way.
