KLIATT

Just after the birth of the Great Tree of Avalon, a strange creature emerges from a tiny egg. This half-bat, half-lizard creature has an odd (and oddly useful) magical power: he can recreate any scent he has ever experienced. His heritage and his future are a mystery to him, until a powerful dream causes him to seek out Merlin and warn him about a deadly threat to his life and to Avalon itself. Aided by the Wind Sister Ailah, he searches all the realms of Avalon, learning about himself and his world in the process. But when he finds Merlin, will he be a help or the one who causes his doom? This charming coming-of-age tale in the author's new Merlin series will be welcome where his other titles are popular. Reviewer: Deirdre Root
