Synopsis

Magic at my fingertips, immortality on my side, and I’m still out of time. Until a volcano awoke near the modern city I call home, I hid my secrets well. I am Merlin the magician, but my friendship with the long-dead King Arthur was an eternity ago. My immortality is the unending mystery of my life. But when threads of magic lead me to a smoking mountain, it’s clear the threatening eruption isn’t natural. At first, I didn’t care about the looming disaster—after living through the Black Plague, other death tolls seem insignificant—but I’m the only one who can sense magic behind the chaos. Someone with abilities like mine is creating this catastrophe. If I can find the culprit before destruction rains burning death on innocent townsfolk and my modern-day friend sniffs out my true identity, perhaps I can finally discover why I’m still alive without losing everything I have. I am Merlin, after all—one of a kind. See what reviewers are saying: “This book was an immediate addition to my can be reread indefinitely pile!” "Highly recommended for lovers of fantasy and the Merlin legends ." “Loved this unique take on Merlin’s legendary character.” “I liked Merlin’s personality immensely.” “I seriously love these books.” “Gripping nonstop action and likeable characters .” “ A new twist on the much-interpreted character of Merlin.”
