For as long as I can remember my mom has been obsessed with wizards, she has ceramics, jewelry, things my sister has painted for her, etc. If you want to get her a gift that you’ll know she’ll like, it’ll have a wizard on/in it. Now I don’t know about you but when I think wizard, I think Merlin. Be it from Avalon stories, Arthurian legend, or even the Sword in the Stone Disney movie, in my family Wizard = Merlin. Which is why I could not be more excited for Merlin’s Harp by Anne Crompton. It’s been YEARS since I’ve read something involving Merlin, or Camelot, let alone anything completely Fantasy. Not to mention, it sounds really freaking awesome!

Merlin’s Harp by Anne Crompton

Among the towering trees of magical Avalon, where humans dare not tread, lives Niviene, daughter of the Lady of the Lake and apprentice to Merlin the mage. Her people, the Fey, are folk of the wood and avoid the violence and avarice of man. But the strife of King Arthur’s realm threatens even Avalon’s peace, and Merlin needs his apprentice to thwart the chaos devouring Camelot. And so Niviene must use her special talents to help save a kingdom and discover the treachery of men and the beauty of love.
