Channeling the modern humor of A Knight' s Tale, bestselling author Robyn Schneider creates a Camelot that becomes the ultimate teen rom-com hotspot in this ultra-fresh take on the Arthurian legend. For as long as she could remember, all Emry wanted was to be a great magician like her father, the magnificent Merlin. As a kid, she fought to be included in his magic lessons for her twin brother, Emmet, and easily outshone him with each spell she cast. But after her father' s disappearance several years ago, Emry has been feeling a little lost. Fate soon appears in the form of a royal messenger, summoning Emmet to court to serve as Prince Arthur' s right-hand wizard. With Emmett indisposed thanks to a bad spell, Emry has to disguise herself as a teen boy and pretend to be her brother at the castle until they' re able to switch. Training as a wizard is everything Emry hoped it would be, except working so closely with the unbearably hot Arthur is a growing danger. They soon share adventures and a connection that can' t be denied, but Emry' s secret is a crime punishable by death. When royal scandals involving Lancelot, Guinevere, and Gawain threaten to reveal her truth, Emry must decide whether to stay and risk everything for a love borne out of deceit, or leave and never fulfill her potential to be Camelot' s greatest magician.

"Schneider' s first foray into fantasy, a clever trilogy starter based in the King Arthur mythos, changes most of the canonical facts but gets everything that matters right in this funny, sharp, romantic, magic-filled book. " -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This book was a delight to read. Schneider crafts a deft world, painted alongside delightful characters and the perfect dash of wit. Everything I look for in my favorite novels-including a smoldering romance!-can be found in The Other Merlin, which is a wonderfully fresh take on Arthur and his storied knights of lore. " -Renee Ahdieh, New York Times bestselling author of The Beautiful and The Wrath and the Dawn "Simultaneously heart-pounding and hilarious, Robyn Schneider gives us a veritable romp through Camelot fueled by adventure and romance. A wonderfully smart, refreshing take for fans of Arthurian legend, but also simply a great read for anyone wondering about their place in the world. " -Kerri Maniscalco #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Kingdom of the Wicked and Stalking Jack the Ripper "Robyn Schneider brings everything I love about her contemporary books into fantasy with rich emotional arcs and friendships that are as compelling as the romance. These characters draw you in as the story keeps you guessing. I have no doubt this series will become a favorite for YA readers. " -Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Fable and Sky in the Deep "An absolute joy from start to finish. It has the feel of a party you' re just chuffed to have been invited to-sparkling characters, witty dialogue, and of course, great stories of derring-do. Schneider takes a familiar story and gives it the relevancy it deserves: with queerness, friendship, and, naturally, the woman wizard we' ve been waiting for. " -Maggie Tokuda-Hall, author of The Mermaid, The Witch, and The Sea "Witty banter, engaging characters, risque references, plus zero devotion to the source material add up to a read perfect for fans of The Lady Janies series. One part Arthurian legend, one part teen dramedy, all parts enjoyable. " -Kirkus Reviews "Funny, thrilling, brave and bold, The Other Merlin is the perfect way to pass the time until the next Renaissance Faire. Schneider' s Arthurian tale stands out amid a crowd of old, dusty duplicates. " -The BookPage "Schneider' s delightful reimagining of Arthurian legend sets Camelot as a hotbed for hormonal young nobles, who -between dramatic turns of lust and love-partake in a lively blend of chivalry, questing, and courtly romance. " -Booklist
