An enchanting new tale that reimagines the young lives of Merlin, Arthur and Guinevere, and reveals the origins of Maker magic
“A spellbinding adventure that brings the legends of Merlin, Arthur and Guinevere to dazzling life. The Mythmakers is a magical, fast-paced journey full of courage, friendship, and unforgettable mischief. Tamsin Merchant weaves history, fantasy, and humor into a tale that middle grade readers will devour with wide-eyed delight.”
~Sarah
Gwyn has never wanted to act like a lady. She much prefers fighting with her wooden sword to weaving intricate tapestries.
When her father takes her to join the royal court at Tintagel, Gwyn meets Merlin: a wild young boy with unique powers, in desperate need of her help. They flee Tintagel together, and before long, the young prince, Arthur, joins them.
So begins an epic journey across ancient Britain, involving giants, mermaids, unicorns and witches - and their discovery of a truly monstrous plan. This band of unlikely friends must prevent the mythical Oakheart - the foundation of all magic in the land - from being stolen. Or magic will be lost forever . . .
Discover the beginnings of Maker magic, and meet Cordelia Hatmaker's legendary ancestors, in this thrilling story.
Tamzin Merchant has been an actor since the age of seventeen. Her acting work has taken her around the world and on a journey through time. She has been a Tudor, a Victorian, a Jacobean, and has survived the Blitz and succumbed to pneumonia in Edwardian times. She’s been an alien, a witch, a doomed queen, a feisty Scottish warrior and a rebellious high-society runaway. Tamzin is the bestselling author of The Hatmakers, The Mapmakers and The Troublemakers.
