Elissa lived in the Avalon Abbey where she's introduced as a princess and novice nun. Ambrosia's the former priestess of the Old Ways. Mab saw that the Old Ways were dying as Christianity spreads, so she decided to create Merlin as her "Champion". While the Lady of the Lake accepts the inevitable, Mab vows to resist. Merlin is created by Queen Mab of the Old Ways and then, Elissa moves out with Ambrosia to Barnstable Forest when she becomes pregnant with Merlin.
We further see Merlin being born and raised in the forest his 17 years of his young life, until he uses his magic to save Nimue. For saving her life, she grants him a kiss. They exchange names and Merlin vows never to forget her. On the return home, he tells Ambrosia that he saved Nimue. Ambrosia realizes that the time came for Merlin to go to Mab, and tells him of his past. Merlin is taken to Mab's underground palace, where she plans to train him magic until he becomes her "champion" Can Merlin save the Old Ways or can he escape the land of magic?
I can't say that I was impressed when it comes to nice visual effects and very well-done narration of this novel. I have to say though, much of it occurs in this novel didn't happen in the film, though this book was written to go on a training for magic. It was very simple for me to get into the book after the first thirty pages of familiar parts to the film and more sophisticated details, overall, it was like fairy tales meets King Arthur in this book. If you liked fantasy or adventure genre, pick up this book today from Amazon. 2 thumbs up! xD
