In volume one of Irene Radford 's magnificent new saga, Merlin's Descendants , Merlin's daughter, Wren, is more powerful than even The Merlin can perceive. And she must learn to master these talents, for soon she will be called upon to serve as both sword and shield for The Merlin, for Arthur, and for the people who would be put in her charge...
In the sequel to Guardian of the Balance, Lord Henry Griffin and his great niece Resmiranda, the descendants of Arthur Pendragon and Merlin's daughter Arylwren, must draw on all the magical talents they have to protect thirteenth-century England from Radburn Blakely, an evil advisor to King John and the grandson of the Demon of Chaos. Original.
The glory of the Elizabethan Age is tarnished by the continuing religious conflict begun by Henry VIII. Griffin Kirkwood renounces his title, his lands, his love for the mysterious demon-ridden Roanna, and his magical heritage as a descendant of both King Arthur and the Merlin to become a Catholic priest in France. His twin, Donovan (his mirror image in face and form and rarely more than a thought away) shoulders the responsibilities willingly. He agrees to two arranged-marriages, one after the other, and takes on the outward appearance of whichever religion is dominant to protect all that he loves, but without magic, or the love of his life. Together and separately the twins must fight to guide Queen Elizabeth through the intricate maze of politics and religion. Their spiritual and magical journeys cross each other, oppose, and re-align as they battle internal demons and external threats.
Now in paperback, the fourth novel in Irene Radford's acclaimed saga of Merlin and his descendants follows the children of twin brothers Donovan and Griffin, in a magic-fueled struggle to protect Elizabethan England from enemies-both mortal and demonic.
As King George III ascends the throne, the Earl of Kirkenwood, a member of the magical Pendragon society, finds himself plagued by a mysterious illness, while his sister, Georgie, fights the Demon of Chaos abroad. Reprint.
