Keepers of the Flame, Excalibur: 3

In a world where myth and reality blur, one man dares to question everything.When young scholar Myrddin Emrys arrives at the fortress of Dinas Emrys, he is met with an impossible sight: a tower that has mysteriously appeared overnight-solid, unshakable, and inexplicably real. But as he uncovers the truth behind its construction, he finds himself caught in a web of deception spun by the powerful druid Maelgwn.Through careful observation and relentless logic, Myrddin begins to unravel the illusion: the foundation is failing not because of spirits or curses-but because of two hidden underground rivers, ancient and unyielding. The "dragon" that guards the site is no mystical creature, but a force of nature. And Maelgwn's mastery lies not in magic, but in fear.As he races to expose the druid's deception, Myrddin must navigate treacherous waters-both literal and metaphorical. He becomes a reluctant prophet, his knowledge both weapon and shield as he battles for truth in a world ruled by superstition. But when the king demands that the fortress be built even higher, Myrddin is forced to choose: will he follow the path of reason... or embrace the power of myth?A tale of science and sorcery, of belief and betrayal, The Dragon-Tamer of Dinas Emrys is a gripping blend of historical fantasy and intellectual adventure. It's a story about what happens when a scholar dares to question the world-and how one man's quest for truth changes everything.Perfect for fans of: The Song of Achilles, The Name of the Wind, The Pillars of the EarthGenre: Historical Fantasy, Adventure, Mythology, Mystery
