Author Description

He was just an ordinary boy - until the box found him. Buried beneath an old park slide, it looked like nothing: cold metal, strange glyphs, no key, no latch. But the moment Justin touched it, the world began to change. Whispers stirred. Shadows shifted. And something ancient awoke. Now hunted by unseen forces and guided by a girl who sees magic in color, Justin is thrust into a race across realms. What starts as a search to unlock the box becomes a journey through enchanted forests, crumbling ruins, and places where myth still breathes. But the box is not what it seems. And neither is Justin. With each step, he unravels secrets tied to his past - and a destiny he never asked for. As doors open to impossible places and long-lost powers stir beneath the surface, Justin must decide who he really is… and whether he’s willing to fight for a world he’s only just begun to understand. The Box of Merlin is the gripping first book in a sweeping young adult fantasy series - where ancient magic, hidden realms, and one ordinary boy collide.
