Reach for this book when your child is facing a crisis of confidence or fears that their growing responsibilities are outstripping their abilities. As the third installment in the Lost Years of Merlin epic, the story follows a young wizard who must confront a legendary dragon and his own fading powers. It is a powerful metaphor for the adolescent experience of feeling stripped of childhood safety nets while being asked to perform at a higher level. While it features classic high fantasy action, the core is a psychological journey about internal strength and resilience. It is best suited for middle schoolers who enjoy complex world-building and are ready to explore the idea that true power comes from character rather than external tools.
