The beginning of the Mary Stewart Merlin series might be too slow for you, but the Crystal Cave is a great book and connects the Romans, Druids, Britons, and Christianity in a manner than few have ever managed. Warning: it will spoil you for other Arthurian books. The other books in the series are The Hollow Hills and The Last Enchantment. There is one more after that, but it was not very good, and it seemed like sort of an afterthought.
