Young Merlin finds himself up against an angry dragon in this the third book in the Lost Years of Merlin five book series. As in the other books, the twists and turns of Merlin's outward journey parallel the challenges he feels inwardly as well. That's why I love to recommend these books. You can find adventure in many fantasy stories these days. What isn't everywhere, is the hope this author extends to each reader that truth and honor are still important. Even in difficult times and even when he isn't that sure of himself, Merlin still strives to do what's right and learns more about himself in the process.
