Merlin's Guide to Everything: Urges
In a world where magic awakens at eighteen with a single Word that defines your entire future, Merlin receives a mysterious and seemingly simple Word.
Unlike flashy elemental powers or devastating abilities, Merlin's magic is quiet and intuitive. It tells him where to step, what to say, and how to carve perfection from marble. And Merlin, a humble servant with a passion for sculpting, finds joy in following its lead.
But when he begins to see faint, flickering blue lines showing him how to create not just shapes, but even feelings, everything changes.
A sudden pull from his Magic leads him deep into a forest, where a golden spear and a vision of a woman spark a creative fire he cannot resist. Obeying the instinctual tug of his magic, Merlin sculpts a statue unlike anything before, his magnum opus.
And then she opens her eyes.
What began as a story about a young man learning his place in a magical world… becomes the tale of a masterpiece come to life and a bond that defies creation itself.
