Merlin's Bones by Fred Saberhagen

Description: Not very long after the death of King Arthur, a troupe of strolling players, on the run from a brutal king, amble onto a spit of land where a strangely unfinished palace stands. There young Amby-a clever, magically attuned performer-discovers the secret hiding place of Merlin's bones, and so becomes embroiled in a deadly struggle that will completely upturn his existence. It seems that many people are in the great wizard's remains: beautiful and cat-like Morgan le Fay; a ruthless, power-hungry Mordred; Elaine Brusen, a skeptical twenty-first centruy physicist; Hakon, the leader of an ambitious viking party; and most of all, old Merlin himself!
