A jack of all trades, that never wants to say "what if?"

The sequel I had been waiting for

Merlin's Shadow - Robert Treskillard

In the sequel to Merlin's Blade we are treated to the unfolding tale of Merlin as reimaged by Robert Treskillard. 

 

After destroying the sinister Druid Stone and freeing his people from its dark control, Merlin finds himself to be a royal advisor without a king. Along with his friend Garth and Natalenya, his betrothed, Merlin treks north with the orphaned Arthur in hopes of keeping the young ruler safe from soldiers misled by their turncoat captain. Relentlessly pursued by his nemesis Vortigern, Merlin and his band make for the fortress of Dintaga. 

But dangers multiply when Merlin realizes that Vortigern is not his only enemy. Even his own sister appears bent on Merlin's destruction. As the threat on all their lives increases, Merlin discovers their only hope is sailing to the lands of eternal darkness and once again cleansing the world from an ancient and powerful evil.

 

Through out the story you are introduced to familiar characters from Arthurian legend, but Treskillard does a great job of making them fresh and new. There is no shortage of fun and excitement.

 

Now on to book 3!!!
