Merlin of Carmarthen

Years before he was a legend, years before he was loved, years before his name was associated with Camelot, Merlin was alone. Suffering through life in a small orphanage in Wales, Merlin hides his druid magic. But when a young knight comes to the orphanage recruiting young soldiers, Merlin is pulled into a war between a displaced prince and a tyrant king. As he copes with the burden of his own destiny, Merlin must also face the truth of his parentage as he struggles to win the love of the father he has only just met. His mystical powers soon make him a pawn in the war for the throne and his actions change the history of a nation forever.
