What is Young Merlin about?

Merlin has always known he is different. Strange dreams, mysterious powers and the villagers’ fear set him apart from other boys. When King Vortigern’s soldiers take him to the royal fortress, Merlin discovers that the king intends to sacrifice him. He escapes and encounters a dragon, who reveals the meaning of his nightmares and the great destiny ahead. Now Merlin must use his growing magic to protect the kingdom from danger and help defeat the Saxons.
