Merlin (Hypnoweb) - French Fan Site

Book 2
Valiant (Japanese Version)

Book 3
The Mark of Nimueh (Japanese Version)
The Royal Library of Camelot is a fan-created resource of the BBC Merlin books!Given how the books have been out of print for a decade and how difficult it is to find physical copies nowadays, I thought it would be valuable to create a project dedicated to digitalizing the books into an archive to share with the fandom! As well as to help prevent them from becoming lost media.Last update: 01/21/2025
What i paid for my copies
If you're wondering about price points, here is what I paid for my copies! I always buy the ones labeled as "very good" condition. Some of the books out there are way overpriced, so I'll usually wait a while for a good deal to come along.Merlin: The Dragon's Call - $14 USD
Merlin: Valiant - $12 USD
Merlin: The Mark of Nimueh - $19 USD
Merlin: The Last Dragonlord - $14 USD
Merlin: The Traitor Within - $12 USD
where i buy my copies
I buy my copies on Ebay, AbeBooks, Amazon, World of Books, and thriftbooks
