Soon after King Arthur died, Merlin found another home to take the remaining knights and their families. It was a world similar to Earth but possessed no metals which could kill or maim. Animals and beings from other times lived there: unicorns, mammoths, Elaven & harrimen lived alongside jachawks and jaclets in perfect peace with the human latecomers. But the humans eventually brought forth a leader who lusted after metal and urged his followers to discover any place it may exist. Their resultant search in the mountains where Merlin's soul resided disturbed him, forcing him to send out a message over the ley lines to any of his descendants for help.Francis Steel and others of his kin responded, entering a world unlike anything they could imagine but not knowing what for or why or how to return home.Merlin's Kin includes a discussion guide for academic classes, book clubs, journaling, or self-reflection.
