The Other Merlin

By Robyn Schneider
The Other Merlin by Robyn Schneider digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR! - Publishers Weekly
 
"Simultaneously heart-pounding and hilarious, Robyn Schneider gives us a veritable romp through Camelot fueled by adventure and romance."
—Kerri Maniscalco, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Kingdom of the Wicked and Stalking Jack the Ripper

Channeling the modern humor of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling author Robyn Schneider creates a Camelot that becomes the ultimate teen rom-com hotspot in this ultra-fresh take on the Arthurian legend.


Welcome to the great kingdom of Camelot! Prince Arthur’s a depressed botanist who would rather marry a library than a princess, Lancelot’s been demoted to castle guard after a terrible lie, and Emry Merlin has arrived at the castle disguised as her twin brother since girls can’t practice magic.
 
Life at court is full of scandals, lies, and backstabbing courtiers, so what’s a casually bisexual teen wizard masquerading as a boy to do? Other than fall for the handsome prince, stir up trouble with the foppish Lord Gawain, and offend the prissy Princess Guinevere.
 
When the truth comes out with disastrous consequences, Emry has to decide whether she'll risk everything for the boy she loves, or give up her potential to become the greatest wizard Camelot has ever known.

“A modern retelling of Camelot, King Arthur, Lancelot and a wizard! So fun! Such a refreshing read! Loved the character development and that this author made it their own story! It’s an old story told via modern times. Accept for everyone and their choices and paths in life.”
Slightly Smiling Face“Was a really lovely read! A simpler plot and quickly solved problems, but it kept coming up with more challenges for the main characters which was great. The main characters were extremely likable and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!”
