Publisher Description

Winter's longest night is rapidly approaching as Merlin faces the most difficult challenge of his life: to unite all the people of Fincayra against an invasion by the evil Rhita Gawr. But how can one man, in two weeks' time, gather them all—the dwarves, the canyon eagles, the walking trees, the living stones, and more—when none of them will listen? And now comes the mysterious Swordarms, who is hunting down Fincayra's children. Only if Merlin can unite the battling forces within himself, can he save the children, unify the Fincayrans, and regain the long lost wings that will enable him, and his people, to choose their true destiny.

"A really good conclusion to the series. It moved at just the right speed - slow enough to really get you into the relationships and such, but fast paced enough to keep you from getting bored. I'm only slightly embarrassed to say that I was tearing up at the end. I have other books I need to finish up with first, but I fully intend to read the rest of the Merlin series'. I would definitely suggest this book/author (but read the rest of the series first!)."

    " I really liked this book; Barron was actually able to surprise me. With his previous books, I could usually figure things out before Merlin did, but not this time. I actually gasped out loud three or four times while reading it. It was an amazing book. "

    " This isn't my favorite of the books, even though there is some really fun play on words. Basically, Merlin runs into his past and future nemisis Nimue. She uses her powers to return to the past in order to kill Merlin before he can become the powerful wizard of her future. "
