"Expect the unexpected at every turn of the page. Kosmos is a story like no other. Completely different, charming, and an enormous amount of fun." - Cemetery Dance
Rookie barrister George Winsome, young and arrogant, defends an old boy who thinks he's Merlin on a manslaughter charge. The riotous trial turns Merlin into a celebrity; money, greed and ambition take hold of George and his partner Heather until the secret of Merlin's past is revealed as the spirit of Saint Yves intervenes to ensure George and Heather follow their true paths.
'Kosmos' is a modern-day jury trial, a feel-good love story and a spiritual journey involving Saint Yves, Nemesis and Merlin.
