[Note: different edition. I have the Collins edition with cover art by David Wyatt.]

Cover blurb:

"Roddy Hyde lives in a world of magic, pageantry and ritual. The daughter of two court wizards, she travels with the King's Progress, ready to take part in whatever ceremony in required, as it occurs. Presiding over all is the Merlin, who is entrusted with the magical health of the Isles of Blest.

Nick Mallory's world seems quite ordinary in comparison--which isn't surprising because it's plain old Earth. But Nick's been on other worlds before and he's desperate to explore more, so when he finds himself suddenly elsewhere, it's a dream come true, literally.

In Roddy's world, the current Merlin expires and a new one takes his place. Yet something is wrong--and it seems that only Nick can help. As their stories unfold side by side, the Merlin Conspiracy deepens ..."

I just realized ... Nick Mallory is from Deep Secret. Very cool!

I absolutely loved this book. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes fantasy. It is marketed as a children's book, and the protagonists are young, but I feel it works as well for adults. The book, in terms of plot, theme and character, is rich enough to appeal to any age.

This is a sequel to Deep Secret, a fantasy novel marketed for adults. That contradiction is a good thematic match for the book. :-)

Finished the other night! Excellent read. There was rather less action on Earth than I was expecting, and less of the Magids in general. I do like how the author handles her characters though.

This ws a great book. I found it a little slow in the beginning, but was hooked soon. I couldn't put it down until the end. I would definitely recommend it especially help get young folks to read.
