"It's up to you how far you’ll go. If you don’t try, you’ll never know.” —Merlin 

Find out how Merlin tried and succeeded in becoming the most powerful wizard in King Arthur’s realm in this enchanting tale! Orphaned at a young age by his mother, a Sprite, and father, an Elf, Merlin was taken in by a band of travelers and show people. Early on, Merlin displayed mysterious powers that grew quickly and became uncontrollable. However, a familiar young sorceress saw Merlin’s potential firsthand. Her name was Mim! She convinced Merlin to join her in adventuring into the world to learn more about their magical abilities together. This meant leaving the only home Merlin had ever known, but he wanted to discover more about his power and help people. Little did Merlin know that what Mim wanted to achieve was more wicked in nature! A spellcasting story set in the world of Disney’s classic The Sword in the Stone.
