Merlin's Blade - Robert Treskillard

\n \nMerlin'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?\n \nWhen 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.\n \nAs 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?\n \nThe Winner of the 2014 Silver Moonbeam Award for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction, Merlin's Blade includes: \n \n- Christian, faith-based retelling of the Arthurian legend \n- location map and detailed character guide \n- rich historical details \n- perfect for young fans of Stephen Lawhead \nDon't miss the other titles in The Merlin Spiral trilogy: Merlin's Shadow and Merlin's Nightmare\n
