The Mirror of Merlin
Book IV of The Lost Years of Merlin epic
Here is how the publisher describes this book on the jacket cover:
Strange wickedness is rising from a remote swamp on the magical Isle of Fincayra. To save his homeland, as well as his own destiny, young Merlin must voyage to frightening places—both on the land and in himself.
Joined by Hallia, the deer-woman he has grown to love, and by his own mischievous shadow, Merlin discovers a magical mirror that can alter anyone's fate. But when he looks into it, the person he sees is the person he least expects to find.
Brimming with passion and spiritual depth, T.A. Barron's fourth book in The Lost Years of Merlin epic adds a spellbinding new dimension to the legend of Merlin, the towering figure who becomes the mentor to King Arthur and the greatest sage of his time.

Chinaberry Book Review of this Epic Series
"In this epic series of Merlin's coming of age, Barron reaches deep into the recesses of our mythic imagination to reveal a Merlin we do not know in other stories. A Merlin proud and powerful, yet who is humbled by the consequences of his actions when he lets his pride get in the way of his inner knowing. Taken as a whole, these books are like a course in living. All the deepest lessons in life are found between the pages of these 5 books, books any child would be blessed to read.
T. A. Barron is a living example of the essence of Chinaberry. He speaks right to the core of our being, speaking of truth, of beauty, and of honor. Today more than ever, our children need this. They are crying out for substance, for deeper meanings, and spiritual truths. They hunger for stories that speak to their souls of the goodness of humanity and of the individual's struggle to be whole in an imperfect world. T. A. Barron is a master of writing about just these things, all carefully concealed in one of the most imaginative adventure stories you will ever read."
