In the midst of this upheaval lives Merlin, the illegitimate grandson of a Welsh king, a boy whose mysterious parentage makes him a pariah and whose strange, waking visions mark him as something more than human. Haunted by the \"Sight\" and guided by the wisdom of the hermit Galapas, Merlin must navigate a perilous path from a scorned \"no-man's-son\" to the powerful seer who will shape the destiny of a nation.\n\nMary Stewart brilliantly reimagines the wizard of myth as a man of flesh and blood, whose intellect and engineering are as formidable as his magic. From the secret depths of the crystal cave to the high-stakes halls of power, this is the story of a young man discovering his purpose amidst the birth of a legend.\n\nIn a kingdom divided by blood and sword, can one young man find the power to unite a throne—or will his visions consume him before the King of Once and Future can be born?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763142078683,"sku":"2026200005356-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f0537b50-5843-4256-8bac-9c1e9dcce26b.png?v=1778499367","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005356-secondhand-the-crystal-cave","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
