Gods of Merlin
by Priya Ardis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Fantasy Paranormal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
GREAT GREEK GODS. THEY ARE COMING.
Foster
kid and occasional shoplifter Eowlyn Patience just wants to fit into her Boston
high school. When the Sword In The Stone falls out of the sky like a meteor
into the middle of London’s Trafalgar Square, everything changes. Then, an
enigmatic golden-eyed man arranges for her to attend a school for the gifted in
England, and the irritatingly perfect Matt Emrys from science class turns out
to be Merlin—the Merlin, King Arthur’s greatest wizard.
Frozen
in a cave for fifteen hundred years, Merlin has woken to find the next Arthur.
Eowlyn Patience’s mysterious admittance to Avalon Preparatory was not something
he foresaw…a disturbing aberration when his most powerful gift happens to be
visions of the future.
The
race to find the rightful heir rages between deadly gargoyles, wizards, and
Regulars, but figuring out the troubled Eowlyn might be by-the-book Merlin’s
hardest job yet. She’s altogether the wrong girl. Torn between what is right
and what saves lives, will Eowlyn do what it takes to win—even if it means sacrificing
Merlin to a god?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“You
are my Gwenhwyfar,” he said. “Or how do you say her name in your time?
Guinevere.”
I
stood, wanting to run but knowing it would do no good. Because I was not in
reality. I was in a dream. I played along. “Wasn’t Guinevere King Arthur’s
wife? I’m a little young. I belong to no one.”
“I
did not come seeking a wife. My former love is the reason we are in this mess.
I have chosen you to be my champion, my right hand. You will go where I
cannot.”
I
growled in disbelief. “What makes you think I would do anything for you?”
Golden
eyes glowed as he considered me. Power radiated from his gaze. The power burned
so bright, like the sun, that I would be burned if I looked too long. Then,
golden eyes blinked. The light dimmed and I could breathe again.
He
peered at me. I dropped to my knees on the ground.
He
touched my cheek. “You will do it, Eowlyn Patience, because you crave what I
do. You would do anything to leave this small life behind. You would do
anything for a bit of power.” His thumb traced the line of my jaw. “Seize the
day, my champion.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Priya Ardis loves
books of all kinds--but especially the ones which make your nose leak and let
your chai go cold. Her novels come from a childhood of playing too much She-Ra
and watching too much Spock. Her bestselling series, My Boyfriend Merlin, about
Merlin going to high school is a YA contemporary fantasy and romance for those
like road trips, wizards, Greek gods, and gender-bent quests.
