In the third installment of the Merlin Saga, the legendary youth Merlin faces his greatest trials yet. In the land of Fincayra, the ancient dragon known as “Wings of Fire” has awakened and threatens devastation across the magical realm.
Merlin, still learning the nature of his powers and his place in the great tapestry of magic, must rise to the challenge. But his quest is not limited to a battle with the dragon: he must also confront sinister forces that seek to destroy magic itself—the bat-like kreelixes, the sorceress Urnalda (who holds the treasure Galator), and the mysterious Wheel of Wye.
All the while, Merlin must reckon with the fires within himself—his fears, his doubts, and the question of where his true power originates. Ultimately, to save Fincayra, he must discover not just power but purpose.

“Young readers who enjoy the likes of Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia will probably appreciate Barron’s take on a young Merlin … enjoyable and well-written fantasy for the younger crowd.” — FantasyLiterature.com
