Praise for Ann Chamberlin:
Praise for The Merlin of St. Gilles’ Well:
The Merlin of St. Gilles’ Well is wonderful!…It’s the best book I’ve read in months and months; a terrific premise, and so beautifully imagined and described, I can only gnash my teeth in envy…Every word is-literally-magic, evoking another world, an older time-and the echoes of the Old Ways that live on in us, unseen.
-Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series
