The Wings of Merlin
Book V of The Lost Years of Merlin epic
Here is how the publisher describes this book on the jacket cover:
Winter's longest night is rapidly approaching as Merlin faces the most difficult challenge of his life—to unite all the peoples of Fincayra against an invasion by the evil warlord 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, in the midst of this seemingly insurmountable task, comes the mysterious Sword Arms, who is hunting down Fincayra's children.
Only if Merlin can unite the battling forces deep 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.
Spellbinding, lyrical, and profoundly moving, T.A. Barron's fifth and final book in The Lost Years of Merlin epic adds a dramatic new dimension to the legend of Merlin. It is a journey of the spirit, a story where Merlin—as well as the reader—truly takes flight.

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."
