Genre: Epic Middle Grade Arthurian Fantasy

Young Pip must embrace his power to become a battle mage so he can defend the Magic Realm against the fierce Northmen invading from the sea and from the dark forces attacking his kingdom.

While recovering from Mordred’s reign of terror and the departure of King Arthur, Pip foresees a new enemy breaching the shores of Britain: a fleet of Northmen led by the ruthless Halfdan Ragnarsson. Pip and Merlin fear Ragnarsson will fill Mordred’s void and bring demonic darkness and chaos to their realm. It falls to Pip, together with old friends and new magicked allies, to stop Ragnarsson, protect the magical barrier that separates the Magic Realm from the Realm of Faerie, and unite the mages of light to protect all who were scattered by the breaking of the worlds.

The Mage

Merlin’s Apprentice Book 1

Twelve-year-old Pip must embrace his magical powers to rescue his family from slavery—or help the king save the realm—a decision that will tear his world apart.

Desperate to keep his family together, Pip hides his power so he can be sold with them. But when his father and brother are sold to different mages and the slavers attempt to separate his mother and sister, Pip loses control and injures a slaver with magic. The uproar catches the attention of the southern king’s druid advisor, Merlin, who quickly offers a place to Pip, his sister, and his mother. On the road to King Arthur’s court, bandits attack their camp, and his family is further torn apart. Pip has no choice but to work with Merlin—who may not be the evil mage Pip assumes him to be—to learn to harness his powers so he can help King Arthur stop Mordred. Only then might Pip have a chance to see his family together again.

Excerpt

In a small seaside village, where the salty breeze kissed the air and the waves tumbled shells ashore, there lived a curious little boy. Every day, he would watch in wonder as The Fisherman took his boat out to sea. And everyday, his mind raced, imagining the different types of fish the Fisherman caught.

Maybe some were big!

Maybe some were strange!

Maybe some were colorful!

One beautiful day, the boy’s curiosity got the best of him. He decided to meet The Fisherman on shore as he returned from his fishing trip…
