Guided by a mysterious stag and a fearless friend, Emrys confronts dark powers, hidden secrets, and the strength growing within him. This coming-of-age fantasy blends magic, adventure, and wonder in a story that speaks to readers discovering fantasy for the first time as well as longtime fans of the genre.

The Lost Years is Book One of T. A. Barron’s internationally bestselling Merlin Saga, a series that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. Step into the legend and discover where Merlin’s story truly begins.

Thanks to this series: the Wheel of Time is not just a clock, the malazan marines defended a crippled god, there were countless other books and many many millions of words to be read. I cannot thank T.A. Barron enough and I cannot recommend this book enough to any one with an interest in fantasy or not.

I read this book in my youth and have always loved it. A wonderful adventure full of magic, hope, love, and strength. Would love to have the whole collection in one book.

A storyline in the book is EXACTLY like the Disney movie "The Black Cauldron." I wonder if they are both rooted in the same myth.
