THE ORIGEN OF MERLIN – VERONIKA’S STORY

The poetic and engaging narrative plunges into the story of the legendary Magi Merlin, revealing a journey full of love, mystery, magic and self-discovery. In 1976, the English historian Egan Norweigh finds an ancient manuscript in the ruins of a medieval monastery in Glastonbury, southern England. With the help of two Welsh priestesses, Egan translates the text and discovers the fascinating story narrated by Veronika, a priestess and Celtic maga, Merlin's disciple, who, during the High Middle Ages, recorded the origins of the wizard. The manuscript reveals not only the life of the Celtic tribes, but also the epic love story between Merlin's parents: Erika, a priestess and maga of the Ordovic tribe, and Clohan, a warrior from a distant planet on a mission to Earth. Veronika details Merlin's childhood, which grows between the stone walls of a magical forest, guided by his mother's wisdom and protected by the sword Excalibur, forged by his father before returning to his planet. During the pregnancy of Erika, Aira, a powerful magician, becomes her friend, as well as Dan, who will become Merlin's best friend, and Orion, a faithful dog who reveals himself to the young wizard's loyal squire. With emotion and intensity, history explores the challenges faced by Erika to protect Merlin, while the young wizard begins to discover his extraordinary powers. On a journey full of action, Merlin finds himself confronted by magicians of the Roman Empire, while gradually Erika reveals her son's true mission: to save his people and face a grand destiny.
