When Merlin defies all the rules and brings his mother to the shores of Fincayra she is poisoned by the spirit warlord, Rhita Gawr. The remedy lies with Dagda, Rhita Gawr's greatest foe, in the Otherworld, and only Merlin can find it.
This next book in the Lost Years of Merlin saga sheds light not only on Merlin's past but on his dear friend Rhia's as well. It is also in this book that Merlin first meets the woman wo will cause his downfall: Vivian, or Nimue.
If Rhia was your favorite character in Lost Years of Merlin is is safe to say you will enjoy this book, in which she plays a major role.
