This is book four in the national bestselling saga of young Merlin, destined to become the greatest wizard of all time.

Something wicked is lurking in the swamplands on the magical isle of Fincayra-an encroaching evil intent on destroying the land-and only young Merlin possesses the power to stop it.

Merlin must embark on a journey through the haunted land to find his stolen sword. But then he discovers a magic mirror capable of altering a person's destiny-and the visage he finds within the glass is someone he never imagined he'd see . . .
