About this ebook

Merlin's Greatest Weakness Could Become His Greatest Strength. With the balance of power between the Druidow and King Uthur’s court in sway, can Merlin find it in himself to overcome his past or will he bring Britain to its knees?

When a meteorite crashes near a small village in fifth-century Britain, it brings with it a mysterious black stone that bewitches anyone who comes in contact with its glow---a power the druids hope to use to destroy King Uthur's kingdom. The only person who seems immune is a young, shy, half-blind swordsmith's son named Merlin.

As his family, village, and even the young Arthur, are placed in danger, Merlin must face his fears and his blindness to take hold of the role ordained for him by God. But when he is surrounded by adversaries, how will he save the girl he cherishes and rid Britain of this deadly evil ... without losing his life?

The Winner of the 2014 Silver Moonbeam Award for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction, Merlin's Blade includes:

• Christian, faith-based retelling of the Arthurian legend
• location map and detailed character guide
• rich historical details
• perfect for young fans of Stephen Lawhead

Ratings and reviews

I was going to read because of the interesting cover and I have heard the authors name several times...but then I read the synopsis and well this sounds awful. .sorry but this sounds stupid.

A new and interesting tale of Merlin. Very great read could not put it down

Why is this book on the list of Free Books, but has a $5.12 price tag on it. Yesterday, it had no price - so you couldn't buy it at all. What's the deal Google?
