Merlin's Blade by Robert Treskillard
Book 1 of Merlin Spiral
Summary:
Merlin's Greatest Weakness Could Become His Greatest Strength
In Robert Treskillard's take on the Arthurian legends, young Merlin is faced with the challenge of saving his country and those he loves when a mysterious, and dangerous, stone falls from the sky.
Partially blinded years ago, Merlin is a timid swordsmith's son who wants nothing more than to live a quiet life and win the hand of Natalenya, the beautiful and kind daughter of a magistrate. But after he and his friend Garth encounter a strange stone in the wood, one protected by druids, Merlin receives a series of visions and prophecies that he is to save Britain from a dark force. As the power of the stone grows and threatens his family and friends, Merlin is forced to embrace his calling---for he may be the only one immune to the stone's power.
Touching on multiple elements of the classic Arthur story---from the Lady of the Lake, the creation of Excalibur, the sword in the stone, and the rescue of Arthur himself---this fantasy tale will appeal to young adults looking for adventure and a hint of romance, as well as adults who enjoy the classic tale this series is based on.

Opening Lines:
The pine trees mocked his youth, their thin, green fingers fretting in the wind. If he didn't move fast, they would betray him--he just knew it--and the deer would get away . . . again. Arvel wiped his brow, stole across an expanse of dead pin needles, and crouched behind a bush strangled by bindweed and its poisonous red berries.
Holding his breath, he nocked an arrow.
The three deer chewed and sniffed.
Arvel's throat tingled and his body tensed. He parted the leaves at the side of the bush with his arrow as shadows danced on its pewter tip.
The deer twitched their ears and turned their heads in unison.
