Welcome to the World of the Druid and the Falcon.

A realm of magic and adventure with Ian McFarlane’s YA urban fantasy series inspired by Celtic legends, wizards, witches, and the wonders of an ancient forest.

Flames in Motion

Book 4
King Arthur's legend continues to haunt Toby

 

Fay, Arty, and Toby are no longer just apprentices of myth — they are the Vessels of the Crown, charged with powers they barely understand and destinies they cannot ignore. Guided by old magic, each must face a trial that will test courage, wisdom, and foresight.

 

The Trial of the Hand.
The Trial of the Heart.
The Trial of the Eye.

 

To survive, Toby, Arty, and Fay must confront not only their strengths, but their weaknesses — for the Mad Monk and his dark forces are already moving, closing in on King Arthur’s Round Table through trials of trust, leadership, and the hidden threads that bind them all.

 

And while the Vessels grow stronger, the Mad Monk and Griselda watch.

 

Learning. Calculating. Waiting.

​

Every decision carries weight.

​

Every choice sends ripples through destiny.

​

In The Trials of Merlin, the stakes are higher, the magic more dangerous, and the bonds between heroes are tested as never before.

 

Can the Vessels survive their trials — and prepare for the darkness still to come?
