About this listen

To battle an ancient evil, the greatest weapon each hero will have is each other.

Hundreds of years ago, facing defeat, the witch Morgana sent monsters into the future to vanquish a humanity King Arthur wouldn’t be able to save. The king might have won the battle, but now, centuries later, a few chosen men will have to fight the war.

Merlin always hated being named after some mythological wizard. His dad had been obsessed with the magic man of King Arthur’s court before his untimely death - a loss that had sent Mel reeling in a downward spiral. He is ill-prepared, to say the least, for the outrageous claims of a proper English knight bent on overcoming evil.

Born a commoner, Lancelot was never supposed to be a knight in his own time. Never mind that now in a modern world, he is so woefully untrained to protect. Thrown into a battle centuries in the making, this flawed hero and a young man too used to battling monsters of the present day will have to come together in a last desperate fight to save humanity.

Can Mel and Lance defeat the greatest enemy the world has ever known?

Or, in the midst of fighting evil, will they discover the real threat has always been a shattered heart?

And what if the one fight they cannot ever hope to win is with themselves?

I was gifted the AUDIO version of this book.
I struggled to write a blurby bit, that didn't give everything away, so I'm jumping straight in!
Mel meets Lance, and is pulled into a battle of good vs evil as old as the legends as Arthur and his Knights.
The melding of the legends and tales is seamless and very well done. I loved that there are Knights with well known names, but also newer, less known ones, who I hope to get to know as the series moves on.
Lance is old, and tired. He dispairs of ever meeting the other half to his soul, his Tresor, which was split from him (and indeed ALL the Knights lost a part of themselves to keep them alive) in the last battle with Morgana. Meeting Mel, however, was a shock to his system in more ways than one. It's also a bit of a catalyst that brings Morgana's beasts closer to the Knights door.
Mel hated being named after a wizard of legend, but as time moves along, he realises that maybe its not just his name that Mel shares with Merlin.
I loved that all is not immediately clear, what's going on. I loved that things move FAST (strangely, cos I don't usually!) for Mel and Lance. Loved that both men fought against the pull towards the other with all their might.
Loved that it took the strength of love to make them both see the truth, that they really were made for each other.
Greg Tremblay narrates.
Its been a while since I spent any time with Mr Tremblay in my ear, and I missed him!
I love his "reading" voice, the one that tells the story. Its deep and even and clear and I did not lose anything at key points when things got heated!
Love his voices, the accents of the Knights are distinctive enough to tell them all apart when in multi person conversations. All the supporting voices are, to be honest.
Tremblay gets over all the upheaval that Mel is facing, all the anguish that Lance carries in the half of his soul for all the Knights he wasn't able to save from the beasts. All those Knights who died across the time, they weigh heavy on him. Tremblay gets over just how much Mel lifts that weight, without even trying.
Tremblay also gets over just how much Lucan fights what he feels for Tom, the youngest member of this band of Knights. Tom isn't a Knight, but he is Lucan's Tresor, and their book is next.
I loved this!

Interesting take on the Aurthurian legends with Merlin and the knights of the Round Table (well, some of them anyway) in 21st Century New York facing off against a diabolical foe. A few creaky plot points but it's entertaining overall, and I'll probably continue with the series. The romance between Lance and Mel fell a bit flat though - Mel is strong and sassy, but Lance is a bit wishy-washy, and spends too long in willful (and stupid) denial. Greg Boudreaux's narration is, of course, excellent (despite a couple of accent slippages!)

Interesting take on the Arthurian legends

I've always loved the Arthurian legend, so getting an MM romance based on it is like a dream come true. The story is really exciting and intriguing. This beautifully crafted tale kept me on my toes to the last line.
The narration was awesome too.

Wow, how exciting

I loved this story based on Sir Lancelot and Merlin in a very unique view. Nice world building, and the characters are all rich and interesting. I really want to listen to Thomas story. I really enjoyed Lance and Mel adventures and journey to love.
Great narration by Mr. Boudreaux...🎧

Arthurian legends!
