Merlin's quiet life of mixing potions and prophetic dreams is upended when a hooded stranger arrives, searching for a boy with no mortal father. Whisked away to a crumbling tower and a ruthless king, Merlin discovers a realm where his magic is not alone. As he navigates this perilous world, epic battles and thrilling quests unfold, setting the stage for the legendary tale of the boy destined to be king. Will Merlin's visions guide him through the challenges ahead, or will the mysteries of his past consume him?

From the publisher

Book 1 in the series of Arthurian legends - retold at an easy-to-read level for younger readers! All Merlin knows is the village where he mixes potions for wary customers, and dreams strange dreams that sometimes come true. Then a mysterious hooded man appears, seeking a boy with no mortal father, and Merlin is taken far away, to a crumbling tower and a ruthless king. To a place where his is not the only magic. About The Legends of the King Arthur series: Epic battles, thrilling quests and forbidden love combine in the medieval story of the boy who would be king. A retelling of the Arthurian legends, adapted and illustrated to introduce children aged 7+ to classic folklore. Great to share aloud, just like the original tales. All titles have been leveled for classroom use, including GRLs.
