- by Deepak Chopra

Imagine a novel that combines The Legend of King Arthur with the elements of The Celestine Prophecy....A complex narrative maze of myth, ancient and New Age spiritual insights, strange occurrences, [and] harrowing adventures."-Detroit News

Known internationally for his best selling books about health and spirituality, Deepak Chopra has now turned his marvelous storytelling gift to an immortal legend. A sweeping tale that spans the centuries-from the glorious, magic-infused court of King Arthur's Camelot to the mysterious and dangerous reality of contemporary England-The Return of Merlin is rich with the uplifting themes of Chopra's teachings that have transformed the lives of readers all over the world.

When Camelot fell under the savage onslaught of Arthur's bastard son Mordred, the wizard Merlin alone foresaw that the legend would not perish. Now, twelve centuries later, the ancient wizard's game is being played out once more in and around the English town of Somerset. Arthur Callum and Katy Kilbride, two young constables investigating a murder, become entangled in an eerie, twilight realm in which past and present are grafted together. In ways that forever transform their lives, Arthur, Katy, and their companions participate in a wondrous spiritual awakening as visionary as it is fundamentally human.

Part detective thriller, part meditation on the resplendent peace that each of us enfolds within our own hearts, The Return of Merlin is a novel of shimmering power and enduring truth.

"Chopra, with sparkling wit, spiritual insight, and a light touch, weaves an inspirational parable imbued with the hope that trust, love, empathy, and awareness will one day supplant fear, hatred, and ignorance. This is a bold, occasionally brilliant, retelling of Arthurian lore."
