Immortal Merlin
8 primary works Complete
Book 1
Magic at my fingertips, immortality on my side, and I’m still out of time.
Until a volcano awoke near the modern city I call home, I hid my secrets well. I am Merlin the magician, but my friendship with the long-dead King Arthur was an eternity ago. My immortality is the unending mystery of my life.
But when threads of magic lead me to a smoking mountain, it’s clear the threatening eruption isn’t natural. At first, I didn’t care about the looming disaster—after living through the Black Plague, other death tolls seem insignificant—but I’m the only one who can sense magic behind the chaos.
Someone with abilities like mine is creating this catastrophe. If I can find the culprit before destruction rains burning death on innocent townsfolk and my modern-day friend sniffs out my true identity, perhaps I can finally discover why I’m still alive without losing everything I have.
I am Merlin, after all—one of a kind.
Book 2
Magic can shift with the wind.
I’m no stranger to enemies—after centuries of living, I have made a few—but I didn’t expect my heroism at a local volcano to ruffle feathers. An enraged member of the mysterious organization Potestas is furious at my geologic meddling and determined to wreak vengeance upon me.
But my foe is more than human.
For the first time in my ancient life, I must confront an enemy vastly more powerful than myself. Battling high in the skies and over mountain peaks, will my foe leave me breathless—forever?
I am Merlin—until my last breath.
Book 3
Not even magic can hide me from the voices in my head.
I’m now a spy in the nefarious organization Potestas. They search desperately for unimaginable powers, and their charismatic leader has welcomed me into the fold. But I’m being watched by suspicious members and mysterious bodiless voices alike.
When King Arthur’s lost grail is discovered, Potestas wants to retrieve the ancient relic from the ocean’s depths. But it’s stuck to the seafloor by magical means, and I’m the only one who can stop Potestas from triggering a tsunami of epic proportions. The trouble is, I don’t know if the voices in my head will let me.
I am Merlin—out of my depth.
Book 4
What are centuries-old secrets worth?
I’m in a battle of wits with the powerful Potestas organization. Potestas is determined to steal unimaginable powers for its members, and I hold the key to unlocking this ambition. In exchange, Potestas promises to reveal crucial information about the source of my magic and immortality. I’ve been desperate for those answers for centuries.
But knowledge comes with a price. Potestas plans a human sacrifice to bring about their new world order. If I’m slow to act, they will slaughter an innocent woman and thrust a destructive new reality upon an unsuspecting world. If I do save her, I will never know my truth.
I am Merlin—and now I’ll know why.
Book 5
I have magic, love, and time—for now.
My long-lost lover and companions are back in my life by a twist of time and space, and I couldn’t be happier. But perfection can never last.
A powerful elemental spirit tears through the forbidden barrier between worlds and possesses hapless humans for her own ends. She’s impossible to find when every new face she wears is different than the last.
The killing needs to stop.
Without my intervention, an unending string of innocents will die. It should be an easy decision, but saving them means ripping myself away from everyone I love after centuries of loneliness. Am I human enough to make the humane choice?
I am Merlin—but not for long.
Book 6
I may be an immortal magician, but have I finally met my match?
I’m both university instructor Merry Lytton and immortal magician Merlin. After an adjustment period, I’ve finally reconciled my elemental and human sides. But Xenia, the earth elemental I failed to defeat, wants more than a quiet human life. She is determined to bring her elemental allies to Earth, and the exodus creates chaos that threatens to demolish the city.
I have magic powers, but she has more.
I’m racing against an enemy that grows more powerful every day. Will my best be enough when faced with an army of elementals bent on unleashing their destructive magic?
I am Merlin—and it’s time they know it.
Book 7
How can my magic defeat a goddess?
I’m an immortal magician who only wants a peaceful life with his fiancée. My elemental nemesis was soundly beaten—so I thought—but now she’s back and plans to reign over all humans in the guise of a resurrected Aztec deity.
She will do anything to sway her followers.
Every day, more people are drawn to her earth-worshiping cult at the cost of their lives. Can I stop this self-proclaimed goddess before the entire city is under her dominion?
I am Merlin—but I need to be more.
Book 8
I’m at the height of my powers, but I have nothing.
My selfless wife sacrificed her life to prevent a catastrophe. Now I’m left with the flimsy promise of her return and a dubious mission. As newly minted ruler of the elemental world, I’m in charge of tremors and quakes for the entire Earth. It’s a big change—I’ve spent centuries looking out for number one—but my humanity erodes with every disaster.
When a former student returns to spread fiery destruction over my turf, it’s my duty to squash the offender. Fires spring up faster than I can smother them. When I’m framed for arson, police cut the last tethers of my feeble human existence. I’m on the run, without home, paying job, or lover.
There’s nothing left for me. I need to snuff out this pyromaniac and focus on my elemental reign. Is my humanity worth saving? Or should I embrace the elemental life once and for all?
I am Merlin—now and forever.
Unraveled is the series finale of Immortal Merlin.
