Sayeth it ain't so! The finale to the epic Emry Merlin trilogy is here, with all the sorcery, snark, and high stakes that made The Other Merlin one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year!
Everything is finally going right for Emry Merlin. Now that Arthur is the king and her wayward magic is under control, she’s enjoying life as Camelot’s official court wizard—and as Arthur’s girlfriend.
But when an unexpected visitor arrives at court, Emry finds her hard-won position threatened. And Arthur is torn between listening to his advisors and following his heart. Even more troubling, war is on the horizon, with King Yurien’s access to dark magic ensuring Camelot’s doom. That is, unless Emry, Arthur, and Lance can find a way to defeat the evil sorceress Bellicent with magic from her own world. But undertaking a quest to Anwen is perilous business, and our young heroes will face many obstacles on their journey—from dangerous beasts to suspicious nobles to cursed maidens determined to find someone to marry.
Can Emry and Arthur save their kingdom and fix their relationship, or will they have to choose between their future and Camelot’s?

      Imagine a world where all genders are equal, merit rather than birth dictates power, and love is love: magic, indeed. Despite packing in at least two books' worth of content and condensing major portions of the canon into a span of months, this closer effectively wraps up both the trilogy's dramatic (and sometimes bawdy) teen romances and its competing power plays. In this alternate Arthurian world, Merlin is a girl, Guinevere got pregnant by and eloped with someone who is neither Arthur nor Lancelot (who is himself happily involved with Percival), and Arthur would rather read than lead. Arthur and Emry journey to Anwen on a magical quest and fight multiple battles at home, where Arthur's council wishes to keep Camelot static, and in the field, where King Yurien seeks dominion over Camelot and is aided by evil sorceress Bellicent. Many secondary characters have their own meaningful arcs, particularly Guinevere and Morgana. Sir Tor, the young nonbinary knight, serves as a wise mentor to Lance and Arthur in ways that readers may find uncomfortably evoke the trope of the "magical other," but the casual acceptance of a range of queer identities is a key component of the new Camelot. Previous books established racial diversity among secondary characters; class and gender are greater obstacles to acceptance and advancement. A rollicking retelling, wrapping commentary on our world into a delightful ahistorical package. (Historical fantasy. 14-18)
