The Future King

By: Robyn Schneider

Narrated by: Rosie Jones

Welcome back to the great kingdom of Camelot! Scandal, betrayal, and courtly crushes abound in this highly anticipated sequel to The Other Merlin, one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year!

Emry Merlin should be living her best life as a wizard’s apprentice. Now that she no longer has to pretend to be her brother to study magic, she and Prince Arthur are closer than ever. Except King Uther has warned her to stay away from his son, and Emry’s magic is growing more unpredictable by the day.

Meanwhile, Arthur’s prophesied future as the One True King is closing in. And as his wedding to Princess Guinevere draws nearer, he discovers she’s hiding a shocking secret. When Emry learns that the only hope to fix her increasingly dangerous magic is an eccentric Parisian alchemist, Arthur has his own reasons for accompanying her to French court, and for befriending an infamous crowd of young nobles.

But it’s going to take a lot more than a depressed gargoyle, some obscenely tight trousers, and a deadly sports match to keep our young heroes from their destiny. Can these reluctant royals and wayward wizards set aside their drama and save their kingdom, or is Camelot doomed?

Critic reviews

A Buzzfeed Most Anticipated Book!

"King Arthur, but make it feel like a classic CW teen pleaser."
—Kirkus Reviews

"A joyous good time is to be had in this effervescent sequel."
—Buzzfeed

"A fun and effervescent historical fantasy." —School and Library Journal

Fun and lighthearted

It is difficult to make original a tale retold as much as King Arthur of Camelot, but this story has a surprising fresh take on the story. The characters are fun and you fall in love with all of them. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and Mrs Rosie’s wonderful reading for my morning commute.

A Wonderful Sequel and Well Worth the Wait

I pre-ordered the book and have been waiting in anticipation for the second installment. This book lives up to the first.

I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book and I was not disappointed with the path it took.



t

quick listen

drug on a little at times. hoping there will be another book as there is much to explore of Arthur's reign.

Great continuation

I love these characters and am glad we got more character building in this. The side plots all coming together at the end was a bit rushed but I’m excited to see how this ends in book 3.
