Twelve-year-old Pip must embrace his magical powers to rescue his family from slavery—or help the king save the realm—a decision that will tear his world apart.

Desperate to keep his family together, Pip hides his power so he can be sold with them. But when his father and brother are sold to different mages and the slavers attempt to separate his mother and sister, Pip loses control and injures a slaver with magic. The uproar catches the attention of the southern king’s druid advisor, Merlin, who quickly offers a place to Pip, his sister, and his mother. On the road to King Arthur’s court, bandits attack their camp, and his family is further torn apart. Pip has no choice but to work with Merlin—who may not be the evil mage Pip assumes him to be—to learn to harness his powers so he can help King Arthur stop Mordred. Only then might Pip have a chance to see his family together again.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"With vivid scene-setting, McCauley expertly draws readers into a perilous, sometimes ruthless world as experienced through the eyes of a boy consumed by guilt and grief over his family's plight and the uncertainty about who he is becoming." - Kirkus Reviews

"Merlin's Apprentice: The Mage is a powerful and exciting new book for younger readers. It takes an unflinching look at the horrors of slavery but in ways that will start important conversations while entertaining middle grade and adult readers alike. Brava!" -Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Black Panther: Doomwar and editor of Don't Turn out the Lights

First Book in New Series Is an Exciting Start

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2023

Like Pip in "Great Expectations," Pip in "Merlin's Apprentice" begins a coming-of-age story amidst heartbreak and upheaval. Author Susan McCauley has adeptly taken on the Merlin mythology and written a fascinating story of a young boy's encounter with challenges that cross the timeline between history and today. Her style is textured and will appeal to a wide variety of readers. Her characters are vivid and memorable. I look forward to continuing this saga.

Love this book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2023

This is a young adult/older elementary novel that is perfect for anyone! It has Merlin and King Arthur, it has magic, it has heartache and triumph! This book is well written, and a real page-turner! I can't wait for more in the series! I will also note that this book deals with some issues of slavery. It is handled delicately, but also realistically. I think it's done at a very appropriate level for the readership age of the book! Don't miss this must-read!

Merlin's Apprentice: The Mage

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

It is an emotionally charged story as Pip goes from a simple boy to Merlin's apprentice charged with protecting King Arthur. His family was taken from him and only in helping to defeat Mordred does he reunite with them. Unfortunately it is only short term as to protect the ordinarius means he loses them again. However there is hope in the future.
