Overview

In flight from the magic visions that plague him, Merlin falls into the hands of the wodewose--wild folk who, according to legend, live in the company of wolves and devour children. But far from being wild, the wodewose are an enormous family of the unwanted, the abandoned, and the homeless. For once Merlin has found a place where an orphan like himself belongs. The triumphant conclusion to the Young Merlin Trilogy.

Editorial Reviews

This is the third book in her "Young Merlin Trilogy." The boy Merlin, who has changed his name in each book, learns more about life when he enters the mind of a bird, a fish, and a dog. He also learns more about his Gift of reading the future. His predictions come true, but "on a slant," never exactly how they sound. Will the boy "Cub" whom he christens "Artos" become the man we know as King Arthur? If the reader is familiar with other books about Merlin or King Arthur, here is a wonderful addition to the collection.
