About the book
Blood is blind to magic. Earth magic does not adhere to rules.
Merritt Vale harbors a dangerous secret: she is the final member of a fabled race, possessing abilities that could lead to her demise - or enslavement.
Upon stumbling upon Little Avalon, a covert sanctuary pulsing with ancient magic, the earth itself reacts to her presence. Concrete cracks open to reveal roses. Trees lean in to hear her whispers.
For the first time, Merritt dares to believe she has discovered a place among its remarkable inhabitants.
Amidst brutal thugs causing chaos in nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park, Merritt realizes her unpredictable earth magic might be the answer the city needs.
She moves through the dim pathways as something ancient and menacing - a guardian unlike any seen in either world. Yet each transformation risks unveiling her true identity to her newfound kin, and the darker reality of why she is the only remaining Leshbolg.
Can Merritt safeguard both realms without losing control of her destructive powers? Or will saving innocent lives entail sacrificing the only place that has ever felt like home - and the chosen family she has always longed for?
Do not overlook this enchanting new urban fantasy series that readers are praising as "a fresh voice in supernatural fiction." MERLIN'S WAIF presents a fearless new protagonist who must understand that true belonging means accepting every wild, unbridled part of yourself - even the parts that frighten you.
