From the publisher

The bestselling series by T. A. Barron! Washed up on the shores of ancient Wales, the boy had no home, no memory and no name… he was determined to find all three. This best-selling series follows the adventures and training of young Merlin on the mist-shrouded isle of Fincayra, an enchanted land between earth and sky that is being destroyed by blight. With this land’s inhabitants to guide him, the boy will learn that Fincayra’s fate and his own quest are strangely interwined. He is destined to become the greatest wizard of all time–known to all as Merlin. “Fans who have followed young Merlin through his many adventures will still enjoy trekking with him.” (“The Horn Book”)”
