EXPERIENCE MERLIN:

The Complete Saga on Audiobook!

MERLIN: The Lost Years (Book 1 of the Merlin Saga) is now available in a whole new audiobook, brilliantly narrated by the incomparable, highly acclaimed John Lee. And it includes my Author Introduction, which I personally recorded for this new release.

Long before Merlin became a beloved legend, he was a boy without a name, washed ashore on a harsh and mysterious coast, searching for his own identity and the source of his strange magical powers.

This new audiobook lets you experience the mysterious origins and amazing adventures of the world’s greatest wizard — through John Lee’s masterful storytelling.

COMING SOON — new audiobooks of all 13 books of the Merlin Saga!
